What have you done today with your Austin Seven
Agree that Scott motorcycles ‘yowl’ and Bugattis exhaust was famously likened to the sound of ripping calico. I think the link between the two is that Scotts were once described as ‘the Bugatti of motor-cycles’, a phrase which stuck.
Those uf us who reside in the Royal County - and further south - are reminded of ripping calico in the lyric of the matelot’s boozing song ‘Be I Berkshire, be I b.gg.ry, I comes from down in Fareham, that’s where the girls wear calico drawers, and I knows how to …’ ( and I’ll leave it there…)
