Derbyshire born and Derbyshire bred, strong in th'arm and wake in th'head.
Wake meaning as in Hereward. Or woke.
Favourite saying, or quote.

It's the same the whole world over
It's the poor what gets the blame
It's the rich what gets the pleasure
Isn't it a blooming shame?

Re: Favourite saying, or quote.
I have collected quotations which strike me.
O Western Wind when wilt thou blow
The small rain down can rain
Christ! my love were in my arms
and I in my bed again.)
(Western WindWestron wynde when wyll thow blow
the smalle rayne downe can Rayne
Cryst yf my love were in my Armys
And I yn my bed Agayne.

My father said that just once to my memory. Rickets was no longer common in the 50's.
