there was a lad in the workshops who was touchy about what they called him.
real name was John Cook ... they all called him JC despite his protests.
so he rocked up one day waving deed-poll paperwork showing he was now John Jacey and saying "if you're going to call me JC ... it's MISTER Jacey from now on."
By time I started there, he was universally known as JJ
(probably told this before but as I'm now going stir-crazy in self-isolation, i think it's allowed.)

I saw one of these explode many years ago when I worked in Battersea. The Lad working on it refused to use the compressor and insisted "all would be well" as he undid the large nut holding the strut together.
I never saw so many mechanics run so fast as he neared the end of the thread.
The workshop was full of BMW's, Mercs, and a Bentley, all of which were spared as it hit the roof, and pinged its way around the workshop. He was lucky to be uninjured by the flying spring, but not so lucky in avoiding the flying punches from his colleagues afterwards
