strongbowholic said:Davey is a very well accepted shorthand for David and used extensively in Glasgow, as I found when I lived there for a shirt while. As both men are Gladwegians, it's not surprising in the least to hear Brazil call him Davey, no matter how annoying it may seem.
Funny though that Brazil (nor anyone else as far as I know) ever referred to Gollum as 'Davey' the whole time he was at Everton.
Is 'for a shirt while' a euphemism for something a tad unsavoury? ;)
