‘Nelly Duff’ is cockney rhyming slang for LIFE. No really. Duff rhymes with puff, puff meaning breath, as in ‘breath of life’. Which is where the phrase ‘...not on yer nelly!’ originates.
As far as we know Miss Duff was fictitious, although we reckon she was a tattooed, arm wrestling pin-up girl, who walked the streets at night in a hoodie.
We, however, would never be found wearing a hoodie. You can find us in our dusty old gallery on the very lovely Columbia Road in East London. Come and say hi on a Sunday morning (bring your hangover - we don’t mind) and enjoy a bagel and a bunch of daffs too.
