    1 This has a more common name here in England, certainly in London... you're an Oxford lass are you not.

    I think it's well known throughout the country.
    Personally I can't stand it.
    Cabbage is one of it's main ingredients.

    Did you see Shaky on the Peter Kay/Tony Christie video for Is This The Way To Amarillo?
    Looks as though he's looking after himself!!

    That CD is called The Shakin Stevens Collection £12.99 on Amazon. It says its a CD + DVD.
