Did some research and Margaret Hammond is a character from a film set in Yorkshire 'This Sporting Life (1963)'. I imagine this is a reference to the film, I have never actually seen it, although this song is one of the best on 'Men's needs....' I may see if I can get a copy. Can anyone shed some light on the character???...' 'The merrie City' is the Wakefield-their hometown- slogan....if you didn't know!
