Here's a continuation in my series of "do people still say this anymore?". And this week I've combined it with a competition to win one of our fab sweet hampers.
Back in the late 1970's/early 1980's this person's name was the most common thing we said to express astonishment, frustration, disgust etc. (in other words, the sort of things that nowadays would frequently yield a potty-mouthed sequence).
We didn't know who the person was. We didn't know why we were using their name... but in the playground it was bandied around as freely as the golf ball bubblegum.
It is believed to be the name of someone of Scottish descent who lived primarily when Queen Victoria was on the throne.
Can you guess the name? (remember, it was to express astonishment, frustration, disgust etc)
Enter your guess below (only 1 entry per person) and if you're correct and your are the first name drawn out of my virtual top hat then you will win the hamper.
And as a little incentive for you... the more entries we receive the bigger the hamper will be. So get your friends to enter too (especially if you know the answer and they don't... because that means the prize could get bigger and yet your chances of winning will remain the same... sneaky eh?)
The closing date for entries with midnight next Friday, 11th August 2023.
