Poor old Bill Henry

As an aside saw a term on a menu for a Fish and Chip restaurant/shop the other day offering pickled delights such as eggs , onions , mussels, cockles but also a Pickled Wally . I have never seen that before no idea what it is does anyone know what it is or even heard of it ?

Pickled Wally is pickled olives or gherkin believe it or not. It's cockney slang.
 
Wow thanks Pearl must be just the name because cant find any normal rhyming slang definition for " wally" and all avenues to find out are dead ends no one seems to know the origin of why its called a Wally. Thankfully I'm a big fan of olives and gherkin's might explain why I coud be considered a bit of a Wally [that said not fond of pigeons] :):fp::tw:
