GUEST,Patrick Cuddihy Folklore: What is a lacheko/Latchyco (lyr add) (52* d) RE: Folklore: What is a lacheko 17 Oct 10


I worked with a demolition team in the sixties in London on the removal of the Old Stock Exchange near the Bank of England; Having shifted, as the term was then, a rather lovely lass from an office nearby, and not sharing fully with my mates on the site the day after of the night before, one of them called me a Latchicoe! The Name stuck! And to this day people in Freshford Co Kilkenny call me Latch or Latchicoe; And sure tis a more honourable title than politician, banker or priest these days for that matter, so there!

Liked Wexford Kiely's song and sang it in a few pubs in London myself; but I preferred the flipside "I'll do my own washing and my own cooking"

Now if only I'd stuck to that!
