A Well Known Phrase or Saying

Years before we moved to Ibiza, in the St. Helens of my youth, we used some odd expressions. One of my favourites concerned the mythical Duffy family, who unlike everybody else in Glass Town, seemed to have everything.


So, whining kids who complained, 'we've nobody to play with,' received the abrupt retort, 'go and play with Duffy's kids.' Similarly, a complaint about having no money was summarily dealt with by 'Duffy'll lend you some.'

Now, miles and years away from those days, and thanks to this young lady,













I'm still pleased to be able to say to Jaki's 'can we have some music in the car?' request, 'Aye, put Duffy's CD on!'
