ReplyDeleteIs there in the section for Real People; John Mylett. It's not his first name, but a contracted & amended version of his surname, so I didn't think it should be in the list of male names.
DeleteRue St Mich?
ReplyDeleteAdded - thanks Flick!
DeleteThe Flanders referenced in Slainte Mhath is an engineering works rather than the place of the same name.
ReplyDeleteWell, the song is drawing a parallel between the men facing the end of heavy industry in Scotland and their grandfathers in WWI trenches, so it clearly is a reference to Flanders in Belgium, but are you also saying it's an engineering works in Scotland? If so, do you know where exactly?
DeleteEstonia isn't really about the European country. The song is about the sunken ferry vessel with the same name. I'm really not nitpicking, but hoping it helps clarify the song meaning.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, as the song entry makes clear. I've clarified that point though.
DeleteWhat about Belsize Park (Kayleigh)?
