Been having a little reminisce and thought about my old school teacher nicknames and how they got them. The most memorable(for no reason i can think) of which was "Cheese Pie" I think his real name was Mr Garside, but to me he will always be Cheesy. He was a Geography teacher(whilst i was at school) at Creasant Road/Ravensfield/Dukinfield High (thanks Thatcher for the continuity).
Now rumour has it he got the nickname from a school camping trip where he did nothing more than ask for extra cheese pie at meal time (very Greg Davies).
Thing is i can remember asking my older brother before I made the massive leap to secondary school what the teachers were like and he mentioned Cheese Pie (in big brother fashion i think he said watch out for cheese pie he will bum you if your naughty...I didn't know what bumming was (my social circle didn't include pop stars or politicians at the time) but i know it didn't sound the cut of my jib). Our kid is 4 yrs older than me and was supposedly on the said camping trip but never the less he was Cheese pie in at least 1981, he remained Cheese pie throughout my school days and was still Cheese Pie and working(i think) at the school when my son left in 2010. Amazing to me how the name stuck for so long
Enough of my waffle what were your best teacher nicknames and if you know, why?
