The good morning thread

[bigbob]

Years ago, when I was about 45, I sat next to a (young, pretty, female) flight attendant deadheading back from Boston to London, and listened to her charmingly prattling on about her boyfriend etc, for the whole flight. At the end, one of her colleagues, who was working the flight, said to her, "Did you have a nice flight Tracey?" and she very graciously included me in her response, replying "Oh, yes! I've had a lovely time talking to this old gentleman." Ouch!

Interesting, I thought Trac(e)y was normally spelt without the e? Does this mean you have post flight knowledge and have had years of contact as a sugar daddy?

I think she was probably Traci, with a little heart over the i. But I did not follow through. Not after what seemed at the time to be a crushing dismissal, but I realise now (thanks so much) was an invitation to set her up in a nice little flat.

You got me thinking, so here are the stats from Wikipedia's list of 'notable Tracies' (although this is quite international, not UK). (The Tracii is a stage name for a gentleman called Tracy Ulrich)

	Female		Male
Trace	0​	0%​	2​	7%​
Tracey	14​	20%​	3​	11%​
Traci	19​	27%​	0​	0%​
Tracie	16​	23%​	1​	4%​
Tracii	0​	0%​	1​	4%​
Tracy	21​	30%​	20​	74%​
	70​		27​

I thought there would be more famous Tracies but that is a small sample size. Maybe they have peaked and are in decline? At least she did not ask to see photos of your grandchildren.

Well, it's just given names. If you want to add surnames, the list gets longer.

That looks a bit sinister in retrospect.

I was brought up to say Christian name rather than given name but that just shows how out of touch I am now.

We're all given names, just depends on what you have just done.

Now you're thinking idiot.

I used to work with an America woman called Tracee-Lynn.

Do they not teach Americans to spell in school?
