You beat me to it with "their" Jack...

Apparently diddycoy is a swear word now? Strange. Around Donny, that's what the Irish travelling families call themselves. Especially the ones who have sold up and built large ostentatious houses in Norton. I'm sure they keep a copy of "The Travelling People" in hardback on their onyx coffee table.

Here's a diddy song about the trials and tribulations of keeping up to date with The Inland Revenue and the hardship of clearing up rubbish, used pampers and needles when they move on, trying so hard to leave the place as they found it, (other than the lead missing off the church but hey ho.)

Yeah, we can all stereotype Jim.
