It's a nick name, the story behind it is that when Phil and him first met at work they had to clock on at 8am - Minty was always late (after 8!) thus the name - I thought that was pretty funny, Cliff Parisi explained it on GMTV a while back!

Probably short for Martin, but because there's already one there they decided on minty!

The really ugly Mitchell brother nicknamed him that because he was always eating mints in the earlier programmes.

He said once it was short for "Matthew" in an episode some time ago. Apparently, it's "Rick" - sorry I forgot!!!).
