It's stuck in a very sore finger!

Most of us have suffered at least once with a Spelk, but did you know they had different names in different parts of the U.K.?

[ This edited version of a Daily Mail Article concentrates on the word SPELK. ]

Raggy - 'ragged' in posh English - has NE definitions that include 'shabby' & 'sharp edged'.
Imagine a Tall, Thin Schoolboy from a 1950s Mining Community, not well dressed but pretty Sharp.  A Raggy Spelk!
