    If it was to do with a soap, it'll be Dallas and Cliff 'Digger' Barnes.

    It's his initials - JCB - team mates noticed them on his trackie top and the rest is history as they say.

    I always thought it was because of his eating. He could dig his way through anything. JCB sounds more feasible though.
