A general expression for anyone born in Wiltshire, but predominantly in Devizes.

its origin came from stories of smugglers trying to recover casks of brandy from the river and telling customs officials they were trying to rake the moon from the water.

Hello @vikingqueen Yes that is correct the Cracker jack pencil and Blue Peter badge are awarded to you.

@thespiceman

I was given a Crackerjack pencil by Leslie Crowther who made his eyebrows dance for me when the Crackerjack team performed at the Christmas party held for the children of staff at the MoD depot where my mum worked - must've been about 1965.
