    Call yourself a Scotsman? It's Jimmy of course.

    (unless he's the next Stuart pretender to the throne or something)

    Why not call him by the name he introduced himself to you with?

    Unless it was "Jimmy the ****" in which case, probably just call him Jimmy,

    Call him all 3 at different times. Keep him on his toes!
    He'll either accept it or tell you his preference.
    Remember to prefix the "Jimmy" with C U.

    Sounds like a new friend if you are unsure what to call him. Why not start out with 'mate' and progress towards 'me old mucka' as you get to know each other.

    It feels like it. I also have a taxi driver neighbour called John Bull.

    Call him James.

    His mum can call him Jamie. Oh, and Brillo.
