Said as a statement of suprise - 'Harry Moyle!'

Anyone else ever heard it?

I have no idea who he was, or if it was used beyond my own family circle.

Not necessarily :) Could be a lass of such a generous nature that she just wants to give, problem is though with her being so lavish & free with her affections, she may well be giving out more than those who partake of this bounty bargained for. (Now where's that wire brush & Dettol gone ? :D)

Males of the sheep species, Rams were known as Tups.
Hence the name for the town of Ramsbottom, "Tupsarse"

Re: Old local expressions

Well then I guess that you can imagine what getting 'tupped' meant then Retlaw......though it usually was not said in front of young ladies.
