Every word of this edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Norah,_Lady_Docker&diff=345405712&oldid=292922862 , upon which much of this article is based, is from this online article: http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Castle%27s+owners+lived+life+to+excess%3B+HISTORIC+HOMES.-a0162329352 , which claims to be a copy of an article from the 20 April 2007 issue of The Birmingham Post.

In the Goon Show episode the question "Who would be walking around the cliffs with a gas oven at this time of night?" was given the answer "Lady Docker". But was it a reference to Norah, Lady Docker, or was it just a reference to a lady muck character? 86.181.170.177 (talk) 14:22, 16 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Given that this show was broadcast on October 12, 1954, it was almost certainly a contemporary allusion, well before the expression had passed into common usage. 121.44.95.130 (talk) 09:07, 23 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
