Hello,

I'm wondering if there is a local habit of abreviating names, or
the Bristol accent/ear mis understanding me (I'm from Surrey) but
some colleagues and customers at work have taken to calling me
'Ky' - could they just not be hearing the 'le' bit of my name?

Other way round. I loved hearing locals say they were going down ASDAL (ASDA) when I was in Bedminster.
