In my primary school a boys nickname was biscuit (not sure why), one summer he got knocked down by a car and someone said “yeah he’s now crumb” and it stuck. So from there on in that was his name. I don’t even remember what his real name was 🤣

@Johnnyvaughan does a marvellous segment on his show about nicknames. I think my fave was about a bloke called ‘Spider’. His mates gave him the nickname because he once went shopping and bought 4 pairs of trousers. Genius!
