Snuffy, Some further information on the song which might explain the transference of "weaver ?" to "Ferranti lad". As I remember, the Ferranti factory near Oldham made power generation equipment of the sort that goes into power stations. It was part of the heavy industry of the north-west. [The Ferranti Electronics factory (computers & radar etc) was in south Manchester.] Ferranti workers in the song would be manual/semi-skilled labour, which fits the context better I think. AndyG
