Hi Listers, seems Okie was a term used in the North Evington area as well for Hokie Pokie icecream so my Husband says along with Me Duck and AYUP for hurry up! Olwyn in the Kaipara NZ

Hi Olwyn NOW I know the origin of the Okie term! My husband was in Oadby, so not far from North Evington. I've never seen Hokie Pokie icecream; we had some other brand. Ayup, to me, was always just a greeting, followed by me duck. I've seen it as a start to emails on this list, in fact - for fun, of course.

Hello from New Zealand   In New Zealand Hokie Pokey ice-cream is just vanilla ice-cream with lots (should be) of honeycomb in it.  It isn't a brand.
