Nick Whittaker ( Coll , 93-98 ) writes :
Thank you for the transcript of the Word of Mouth transcript [ available by emailing the Editor at the address above ].
I remember both Rufo and Edmund from College , and had Simon Woolley as my div don in the 4th year . The latter was nicknamed Boulay , and I ’ ll try to explain why as follows :
There ’ s a song ‘ Wooly Bully ’ by Sam the Sham and The Pharaohs , which is featured in many movie soundtracks . Someone must have heard it , exaggerated the pronunciation of Bully to Boulay , and a nickname was born . I think that ’ s why the unnamed Commoners in the transcript are laughing over ‘ lay boulay ’, as they imagined that Mr Woolley didn ’ t know of his nickname . I ’ d guess they were Toyeites , as Mr Woolley was a tutor in Toye ’ s during my time at Winchester .
