If my memory serves me well (hmmm, sounds like a line from a song!), I think the words I quoted in the March 2005 post, came from a Gary & Vera Aspey recording. It's a long time since I sang it, particularly as my Beloved has now left the planet.

Putting "the knocker-upper man" into Google Images, brings up a surprising amount of pics, including a lady pea-shooter doing the deed (which I had never heard of!)

Cheers!
