The residents of the English counties
have nicknames the meaning and orr
gin Of which are not always obvious.
Why the inhabitants of Liverpool
should be called "Dicky Sans" is not
very clear. But nearly all the counties
have their distinctive nlcknames. The
Glasweglans are "Keelies," the Ian
cashire men are Tim Bobbins,n while
the Lincolnshire folk have long been
called yellow Bellies" after the frogs
which once abounded there. Yorkshire
