Good job the knitwear from the other island did not become so popular - even if it is very hardwearing. People may now be saying she wore a brand new Guernsey.

Did anyone but folks around here in NW England ever wear something called a 'Gansey' btw. Probably a corruption of Guernsey but I remember my mum calling a sleevless pullover a Gansey. Wonder how that came about.

Back to the original song I think the worse bit is 'What did Missy sip?' Bad or what? Mind you, Stanley Accringtons Scottish football team song takes some beating. 'He loaded the machine gun to the top - I never saw a sten house more...'

Oh dear.
