Talk:Mollymog Street

Does anyone else remember one of the great "lost" movies, George Axelrod's Lord Love a Duck? Its lead character (Roddy McDowall) was nicknamed "Mollymauk". (A mollymauk is not actually a duck, but a smallish albatross of the Antipodes). The name jumped out at me as soon as I read it and I wonder if it's the source of the name, both "in universe" and as TP's source. It's just as likely to be known in Ankh-Morpork as the Land of Fog's morpork itself. --Old Dickens 15:43, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
The bird is now included in the article as a source, but I'm not so sure. --Old Dickens (talk) 06:07, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

Considering the proximity of Wokingham to Aldermaston, it is probably more likely that TP got the idea from the tale of local lass Molly Mog. --Lias Bluestone (talk) 21:35, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
