Thread Name: Folklore: Puddin Tane & Other Rhyming Sayings
Subject: RE: Folklore: Puddin Tane & Other Rhyming Sayings
As children in Suffolk, if someone asked 'What's your name?' we always eplied Puddeny Crane, from a rhyme which I always assumed was widespread, but may not have been, since I tried googling various bits of it and didn't get a huge response:
What's your name? Puddeny Crane
Where do you live? Down the lane
What do you keep? A little shop
What do you sell? Candy floss [or sometime lollipops]
