well doneThat's been bugging me this morning - I was sure i remembered Smiling Morn as a name from a book (apparently it's an old song too)!
Finally found it he was a character from a book I had as a child...
I will see if I can get it. Mum also said of people Apple Face and Egg'ead. Nan said look at ol' Gawpy Gob. I had the misfortune to have to serve Gawpy Gob when I started work as a trainee Rep, he did remember me but he didn't mention my Nan!That's been bugging me this morning - I was sure i remembered Smiling Morn as a name from a book (apparently it's an old song too)!

I posted a long time a go that Nan said if her dress was shapeless or too big, she would look like Nanny Goon in it. Has anyone heard of Nanny Goon? And Bob Tyler I posted on the Songs thread. I wonder if he was a character from a book or a real person.? Some of her Black Country characters who were real people, she bestowed their names on to other people, when she moved to Coventry, like Duffy Baldro and Chump Mummy and Dithery Dick. I remember watching Pebble Mill at One, with mum, where you could see the audience and she shouted out there's King Kong!How hold is the original book?
My late mother in law, Audrey, b Newcastle under Lyme in 1920, used the epithet Nanny Goon to apply to someone who was a little bit behind the times in fashion, slightly less bright and more economically challenged when compared with the normal. (As you can see, I am having a bit of a struggle being adequately politically correct.)I posted a long time a go that Nan said if her dress was shapeless or too big, she would look like Nanny Goon in it.
