Here is one for you young guys.  Over 40 and you are barred.  How did this Norman Cowans get to be called Sid?

You've even got me on that one, Brian. And I'm way past 40.

Clue.  There are two theories how he came to get his name.  I will accept either.

It's to do with Hissing Sid. Although I can't remember who Hissing Sid is/was.

Something to with a song sung by Keith Michel about Captain Beaky. And a "Hissing Sid is innocent" campaign.

Time for my tablets.

That's the hard one.  Try the easy one.  Think of him in glasses.

I know this because I remember the song and looked it up so I could sing it to my grandkids.  You might be surprised by who wrote it.
