Also, if Gran said hello to anyone whilst out & about and we asked who it was, she'd say ' its Icky,t' fire bobby'

Tha must be a fair age to have heard then sayings,
I was always told they were layors fur meddlers.
Icky t fire bobby, were any male who we met, and some times he could also be responible for events.
Such as "dad who did that", Icky t Fire Bobby.

Retlaw.
