Hi Maisie It could be due to the many methods of communication we have these days (TV etc), but I would say most Brits would know what a Rammy is or refers to I have never ever heard the word rambunctious, I presumed it was a misspelling of rumbustious and the OED seems to back that up Certainly some very old words have been retained in the US when the rest of the world in the main have moved on, the use of grand uncle or aunt springs to mind but in this case it appears the US has taken a word and altered it, presumable through mishearing or misspelling at some point in time, as Anne said it appears to have its earliest recording as 1830 Not that I think its that important in the great scheme of things but interesting to see how words & phrases mutate over time and space Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 30/11/2015 15:46, Maisie Egger via wrote: > More: Just as rammy is an unheard of word on this side of the pond (USA), > rambunctious is a very common word to describe unruly, loud and noisy > people, particularly children.

We had our cod liver oil and orange juice in malt so it was quite yummy. Also halibut oil in malt. Not sure if the orange juice was in the cold liver oil or halibut oil or both. We also had Lanes Emulsion, a creamy mix but I have no idea what was in it. Unusual smell and not as nice as the malt mix to taste? This was in the 40's. Jean Rotorua NZ

In the 50's, I remember the Delrosa Rose Hip Syrup. It tasted very good but the cod liver oil even laced with malt extract was not really to my taste. Free milk at school was another of the gems in those days and Mars bars were about twice the size they are now - a meal in a wrapper and as i recollect it cost 4pence. Those were the days. Ian Rodney Still lurking on the list. Sent from Samsung tablet

Hi All I was brought up in Glasgow during WW11. As I recall cod liver oil and concentrated orange juice were supplied free to children. I like Cod Liver Oil. I used to gurgle it straight out of the bottle. That was no problem since no one else in the family would touch the stuff. I wonder if it did me any good.

I remember having a large spoonful of cod liver oil and malt every morning - because I was too skinny! (Oh those were the days!) But earlier on in this thread, someone mentioned rosehip syrup. In the early fifties, every autumn all the school children used to go out after school to search for rose hips in the hedgerows. We brought them in to school in the morning where they were weighed. We were then paid - I think 1d (a penny) for every pound. This was in Galloway but I imagine it happened elsewhere in Scotland too. I wonder who then made those rosehips into syrup?

More: Just as rammy is an unheard of word on this side of the pond (USA), rambunctious is a very common word to describe unruly, loud and noisy people, particularly children. I have no recollection of questioning the word or its use when I first came to the the USA. I just 'knew' what was meant within the context of what was being said. America seems to have retained some older words and phrases that are no longer used elsewhere, as well as lots and lots of made up ones as language continues to be fluid.

Jean and Ella, I forgot all about the soup spoon of malt every night before we went to bed. I don't remember any cod liver oil taste to it or the emulsion either. I found this on Google: Malt extract: Malt extract, also known as extract of malt, is a sweet, treacly substance used as a dietary supplement. It was popular in the first half of the twentieth century as a nutritional enhancer for the children of the British urban working class, whose diet was often deficient in vitamins and minerals. Children were given cod liver oil for the same reason but it proved so unpalatable that it was combined with extract of malt to produce "Malt and Cod-Liver Oil." Malt extract was given as a "strengthening medicine" by Kanga to Roo in The House at Pooh Corner, and was also Tigger's favorite food in the book. The reference to it as 'nutritional enhancer for the British urban working class...." annoys me intensely as it was 'generic,' shall we say, and not just the children of the working class benefited from it. Reference A. E. Milne, Cambridge educated, hardly one who would have mixed with the urban working class, it seems. Incidentally, A. E. Milne's father was Scottish who ran a small public (aka private) school in London. Ella your taste buds are mis-wired if you could guzzle cod liver oil straight out of the bottle! There again, some people love Marmite, or Vegemite as it's known elsewhere. For the genealogy purists, the submissions re cod liver oil, etc., throw a light into what was deemed healthful living not so long ago. No doubt popping vitamins has taken the place of cod liver oil, Scott's emulsion, malt, and even Marmite. Maisie -----Original Message----- From: Ella K.

Isn't that just super, Frank! As I've remarked before, Malcolm on the Wigtown list, does fantastic research for me, the latest being photos of my father's half-cousin in England in his garb as a Freemasonry Worshipful Master. I didn't even know that this branch of my father's family existed until Malcolm unearthed them. It's really quite heartening as the tree expands. I now have over 1,700 names on the Family Tree Maker, some 'outlaws' married to blood relatives, i.e. They're a bit of a problem in taxing my memory, however. I'm amused that sometimes your family name Dewar (as in Dewar's whisky) is pronounced DeWar, and Gilchrist as GilChrist here in California!

I think my tonsillectomy is my earliest true recollection. I remember the echo chamber effect as I drifted into unconsciousness and I remember the nurse promising me beforehand that after the operation I could have "as much ice cream as I liked". One tiny spoonful of ice cream afterwards hurt so much that that was "all I liked". I feel cheated to this day.... :-) Ken Harrison North Vancouver, Canada -----Original Message----- From: lanark-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:lanark-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Dora Smith via Sent: Saturday, November 28, 2015 11:28 AM To: Maisie Egger; LANARK@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [Lanark] Cod liver oil, contd.

And don't forget rose hip syrup! Apparently that's making a come back. As a spoonful of cod liver oil was so yuk my mother bribed us with an Opal Fruit afterwards. (Now known as Starburst).
