I remember it from family parties, along with Nellie Dean and Old Bull and Bush (not at grandma's house though, she wouldn't have anything so "common"). |

It turned out much better than I anticipated (I did Ian Dury's 'Clever Bastards' ... bet yer grannie wouldn't have allowed that one, Mo!) |

Watch out though, you lot; point out a few more of the ridiculous mis-attributions in the DT and you'll be getting anonymous messages accusing you of being a "begrudger" or an "anti-gael". Telling the truth tends to make you unpopular with idiots. |
