2020/21 - What's made you happy today?

Do you also know that "hen" means "old" in Welsh?

And Duck means gawd knows what in Derby!

It's used in the Potteries as well: "It is said to find its origin in the Saxon word ‘ducas’ which was meant as a term of respect; similar to the Middle English ‘duc’, ‘duk’ which denotes a leader, commander; from which comes the title ‘Duke’ and the Old French word ‘ducheé’ - the territory ruled by a Duke.

From these origins it became a greeting and then a term of endearment."
