Default Out of curiosity ...

Having a look at different posts got me wondering; where do all our user names come from? So, being a nosy old trout, thought I’d just come right out and ask!

To kick things off, mine is a combination of a great pub and a nod to a great place.

Anyone else care to confess all?!

I like, no, lurve, chocolate. Not just any old chocolate......could go on and on and on about it, you know - minimum/maximum acceptable cocoa level, hate Hersheys, Ferrero Rocher & Cherry Ripes/ but like Godiva, Leonidas, Lindt, Nestle, Cadbury (depending on cocoa percentage) etc etc ......

Simple really wmoore = Wayne Moore

There was a long thread a bit back called What's in a Name? but I can't find it now. Somebody like Pollyana or Simone will probably find it!

Character in "Hot Shots", simple as that.

It's also a handy lightning rod and early warning device for anyone fancying a bit of a rumble
