OK, I'm bored - my children are watching Top Gear for the 91st time and dp's away and I have 50 Pudsey Bear biscuits to decorate and I don't want to.

My father was born in 1918. His name was one that I have only heard 3 times in my life apart from Pa. One man, one woman, one still alive, one Victorian.

Any guesses?

I don't know what I think about the name - it's coloured by how much my father hated it. But as I said, he was a rufty-tufty Australian who worked on a sheep station, so it must have been a bit of a burden! My ds has it as his 3rd name, and it goes well with his other names, and gives him the initials PJG, like an old time cricketer!
