Mr Albert Heage


Albert is a bit of a legend in Derby. He's the man who popularised the phrase "me duck" in normal conversations. Now, "How you doing, me duck" seems second nature to most Derboleans, but it's only 50 years since Albert introduced the phrase. Prior to this, the local argot used the phrase "ye todger".

Ironically, Albert came from Nottingham and was allergic to ducks.
