What’s In A Name?
There are reports that Staines is going to change its name to Staines-upon-Thames.
Will it make any difference to the punchline of so many jokes. It’ll probably create a few more.
It got me thinking about whether your name makes any difference. For instance if your first name was Eustace, would you ever get elected to parliament. If you were no good, you’d probably get called “Useless Eustace”!
Prime Ministers have also had names with a certain gravitas or style; Churchill, Callaghan, Cameron etc. Even Thatcher and Blair aren’t names without style. But look at the two main Labour figures now. Balls to the man in the pub will always talk bollocks and Milliband is one of those names with milli or very small in it.
So I don’t think that they will get elected, unless they change their names.
