Has anybody else noticed that there's a heck of a lot of "Steve's" on here 8-) and I bet the majority of us are from the 1950's. I was christened with the traditional English "ph" spelling of the name, but as we're all called Steven (more easily shortened to "Steve") which is the American version, I often wonder if that is why it was such a popular christian name back then.
Could we be named after Steve Mcqueen? a bit too early I think, or Stevie Wonder? definitely too early for sure, or could it be because of the vast amount of US servicemen that were stationed in the UK after WW11? I bet a lot of them were called Steve and our mums just liked the name, or :o let's not go there okay :oops:
Look, my paintwork hasn't got "Fish scales" :x they're "Dragon scales" right!!! However, after some thought, I will accept "Black Marlin" or "Swordfish", but definitely not "Haddock" or "Cod".
