Re: Teachers nicknames

A couple of teachers nicknames here:-
Porky (sometimes Porky Powell) Mr Powell, history and archaeology teacher, because of his size.
Rabbi Roberts. Mr Roberts, RE teacher.
Big Lew. Mr Lewis, science teacher, he was big.
Mad Evans. Mr Evans, science and maths teacher.
Doc. Mr Edwards, doctor of science. Brilliant teacher, one hell of a temper when he got going. He had a very short, and sometimes non-existent fuse.

Re: Teachers nicknames

We had a supply teacher, and as he was only visiting for a few days, we hardly knew his name. So as he was a Frank Spencer lookalike, you can guess what some of them called him. I even thought that his name was Mr Spencer because of that.

There was one who was nicknamed Bob after Bob Holness.

Re: Teachers nicknames

There was one called Mr Bate, but some of us called him "Master".

Re: Teachers nicknames

I had an English teacher in 1978. He has longish ginger hair and a ginger beard. It seemed reasonable to call him Catweasel.

Re: Teachers nicknames

We also had a good guess as to what first names some teachers would have had, and if they had the same surname as someone famous, we would sometimes refer to them by that namesake first name if you know what I mean.
