I don't know whether most or our transatlantic cousins are aware that "fanny" has a different meaning on opposite sides of the Atlantic.

Oh, how we have made up variations. My dad's version, but likely his father's before him, was: Eeny meeny miny mo, Catch a Whitehouse by the toe, If he hollers make him pay, 50 dollars every day. Of course we kids loved it. > eeny meeny miny mo > catch a german by his toe > if he squeals pull his tail > send him off to jerry jail Paul Whitehouse, Maryland, USA -- Researching Black Country names: WHITEHOUSE, DAVIS, LEES, SPITTLE, SMALL, DITHERIDGE, BEDDOW, TAYLOR, ASTON, ATTWOOD, RICHARDS, PEERS, WRIGHT.

Sounds like a very similar to one from my childhood. They are all derivations of the same rhyme known nationwide: eeny meeny miny mo catch a german by his toe if he squeals pull his tail send him off to jerry jail Usually used in the playground to ascertain who was 'it'.

Could it be "cheese dealer" spelled phonetically when the speaker substitutes an "ah" sound for the final "er"? I have a similar entry where my ggg grandfather was a tea dealer.

Although it could be short for Frances, in my family it was actually a given forename i.e. she was baptised as FANNY.

There's also one for Walsall but I thought the voice sounded more like Darlaston. Trouble is the folks who are doing the recording come from down south and wouldn't know the difference. Pat. ROTFLMFAO!! Mellie How Come My Coat Of Arms Has Buckles At The Back?
