 Re:In which song were these words? - 2004/06/08 10:13 Hi, Steve and all.

If you wanted to get hold of the HMV Jake CD, I hope you followed the link I gave you above - both it and the HMV website say that the HMV Easy Jake CD is now deleted. Eranu !

 Re:In which song were these words? - 2004/06/15 02:04 No, you're right, it's all true.

'Tupping' comes from the same root as 'toupe' (on top) and is ancient usage though still commonly used in Yorkshire.

Anyone who had read their Thomas Hardy knows about The Reddleman, who used to sell that red dye used in the tupping harness. Though is some parts of the country it was corrupted to raddle - hence the expression 'a raddled old dame' for someone who has been subject to too much tupping!)

You've put a new complexion - (so to speak) - on my concept of a raddled old dame. One definition of 'to raddle' given by my dictionary is 'to rouge coarsely'. But I've always believed the raddling of red capillaries which can break out on elderly faces to be due to too much tippling. I shall be looking at my contemporaries now and asking myself whether those afflicted are tipplers or tuppers - very diverting!

By the way, those of you who know me personally will please have the courtesy not to speculate.
