Thread Name: Cod-liver Oil and the Orange Juice
Subject: Cod-liver Oil and the Orange Juice
Today's Guardian has a full-page feature on Irish folk band The Mary Wallopers. It says one of their favourite songs is Hamish Imlach's "Cod-liver Oil and the Orange Juice", which it says is about a man from Brighton. The character actually comes from Bridgeton, pronounced in the song (and generally in Glasgow) Brigton, an area in Glasgow's east end.
