And from Cheshire, it was "sky blue pink with a finny haddy border". I never
asked but assumed that "finny haddy " stood for "Finnan haddock", but maybe
not! (At least it would still be a yellow border!)
Mom always used "sky-blue pink" as it was, but also "ginger-pink with
black spots" - like me, she was born in Birmingham - though her family
came from Herefordshire and Wiltshire. I'm not sure I ever heard my
father use either - he and his forebears were born in Stamford, Lincs.
