Well, my flabber has been well and truly gasted this week as it turns out that the song about the muffin man was written about a woman. And it's a true story too.
With thanks to Tyne and Wear Archives and Museums on Twitter this week, I learned that The Muffin Man was really a woman. She worked undercover, selling her wares in Newcastle, dressed as a man.
Here she is.
And there's even more about here too...
I don't know about you, but I'm itching to know more. I'll be researching more on this incredible story very soon.
Think you know The Muffin Man? Think again!
