Thread Name: Question about Byker Hill
Subject: Question about Byker Hill
In the song Byker Hill, the first verse goes "If I had another penny, I would have another gill." What is a gill, and is it pronounced as in a fish gill, or as in "Jill." I've heard it pronounced both ways by different singers.Thanks. I just want to know what I'm singing about! :-).
