   The Plymouth fish finger absolutely sounds like a euphemism for something.

   "You don't cross the Gaffer, mate, not if you value your life. Jimmy Knuckles tried it and they gave him the Plymouth fish finger."

     @BigJackBrass is this something to do with Johnny Mercer's wife?

     It was a rather "famous" tweet which has dogged him on social media ever since. A quick Google for "Johnny Mercer's wife Plymouth herald" will tell you.

     @botvolution I'm afraid you've completely lost me there, although I do at least know who Johnny Mercer was.

     @botvolution Ah! In that case I don't know who Johnny Mercer is! I thought you meant the Tin Pan Alley lyricist and songwriter, which is what happens when you spend more time delving into American popular music of a century ago than paying attention to recent events.
