Member Since: July 2009 Posts: 893 Send Message	Not stalking you Cynthia:-))) Just doing my morning round. I got the nickname goosegog as a child because I was always picking and eating the gooseberries from the bushes in the garden.

Member Since: July 2009 Posts: 893 Send Message	Well I was living on Norfolk/Suffolk borders at the time so obviously it is a fairly widespread name. My sister was born whilst we were up there and she was called a Norfolk dumpling:-)))

	People from Wigan are Pie Eaters and those born in Leigh, Lancashire are referred to as "Lobby-gobblers" Lobby = dish made from corned beef and vegetables
Member Since: April 2004 Posts: 46,062 Send Message	SylviaInCanada	Report	11 Jul 2010 01:05
	hmmmmmmm lobby sounds as if I might like it! is it corned beef from a can (ie, Fray Bentos) or real corned beef? There is a supposedly Irish dish that is often served on this side of the Pond, corned beef with cabbage, and that is made with real beef treated in a certain way. s xxx
