Re: Rita and Bing
in reply to a message by Pickles
I knew a Rita Enid at school. Very nice person, but I prefer Margaret.
I've just finished reading Brothers In Arms, by James Holland, the story of a UK takn regiment from D-Day to the armistice. And a man named Harry Crosby joined them and, because they'd been fighting with an American regiment and were therefore up to date, he was instantly nicknamed Bing. In my own experience, the first dog I had, at the age of three (me, not the dog), was named Bingo by me. I don't know where I got it from, but she was a dear little dog and I can't see any form of her name on any kind of human at all.
