We have realised that some of us have named our pumps.
Have you?
My first ones were called ‘Pumpy’ (very original)
The first 780 was Humphrey (a bit of a know it all)
Now I have Hermione (A lot more friendly than Humphrey- or I have got clearer on how to use it)
She has sensible sandals with white ankle socks.
She has long plaits and is one of those people who just won’t leave you alone.
She demands attention at the most inconvenient times.
I have learnt to get in with her, and she is a lot more independent now but still has a sulk now and then.
I don't give inanimate objects names - but I like the fact that other people do (I'm not a complete misery-guts).
When I moved back to Wales from Spain, I lent my Spanish car to a friend until I needed it again. It was a Suzuki. Other friends kept mentioning someone called Suzy - isn't she great, so reliable, just what so-and-so needs at the moment...ooooooh (sound of penny dropping), der, my Suzuki! She'd named it Suzy.
You could have guessed that I have also named my cars!!Not had one called Suzi.
Has a Smart car called ….. Smartie, then another called Footsie (reg was FTZ)
