Lotte Lenya in Brecht's Threepenny Opera ("Das Schiff mit acht Segeln"
the title of the song is often translated as 'The Black Freighter').
"Der erste der kam war ein Mann aus Kent (der war wie ein Mann sein
soll)".
"The first one to arrive was a man from Kent (he was how a man should
be)".
So where does this leave us male and extremely macho Lancastrians?
I detect north-south divide here!
