Used as an expression of suprise.

As in 'Harry Moyle! Where did that come from?'
Has anyone ever heard of this name as an expression of suprise or shock?

Both my parents say/said it, and my grandparents.

Please tell me it's not just used in my family, as they have no idea who he was, or why his name is so shocking.

No chance then, as know one knows why they say his name, when something suprising happens.

Re: Come again ? or what does that mean !
There seems to be only two noteworthy Harry Moyles, one was in the R.A.F., and wrote a few books, the other was an American, Harry Moyle Tippet, who seems to have left a lot of religious quotes.

Guess if no one else has even heard of him, I'll never know why his name was used.

No, thanks to The Goodies, that's even listed in some dictionaries.

No, Soft Mick was much more well known than Old Harry.

Apparently Mick minced as far as Preston.
