Elle McPherson gives her 5 year old a croggy in London!

[DrNortherner]

a bit of fun or sheer madness?

Never mind Elle, I have just been educated to what a croggy is!

If it saves her from dodgy windscreen poetry ...

oh we did this all the time back in the day!
never bothered with helmets either
not saying it's right but times have changed I guess

Thank you, Dr Northerner, I have learned a new word today!

actually we used to sit over the wire bit over the back wheel, I thought that was a croggy

Ah Stella, good not just me then.

good word, crog

I did not know what a croggy was either.

I dont think it is a problem, he is wearing a helmet.

Me to compo. I just assumed a croggy was taking a pillion regardless of where the sit!

nevber heard of a croggy

at Jason Donovan's revolting feet

slightly cynical at coincidence of this meeting and photo opp

are the streets of london really filled with smiley slebs

I wouldn't let my dc ride like that.

I have now learnt 2 new things on MN today, thanks DrN

think it's a northern word

Never hear of croggy. Wasn't sitting behind a 'backie'?

crog can be sitting on crossbar (might be where word came from??)

Zippi they're always snapping Elle on the school run. That said I'm sure she dresses for it so it's a chicken/egg situation.

sorry should say slang word

is till havent heard of it

Have never heard of a croggy. DS1 has that homework bag though

Imagine bumping onto Jase though.

I used to lurve him.

Just google croggy came up on a BBC can you speak Leicester website.

croggy

Croggy on the back, crozzy on the crossbar.

Although in the local accent they sound pretty much the same.

the last time I had a croggy was on another journalist's bike after a v boozy meal @ Le Gavroche...I cannot remember where we ended up or who he was but it was a v pleasant experience
