Caller Rose in Wexford asks Sean, 'Do you know the saying, happy as Larry, who is Larry?'

'That's an age old question' says Sean. 'I certainly don't know. The only Larry I know is the big man who sits in the office upstairs!'

Laura gets in touch, 'I know who Larry is! He was an Australian boxer who never lost a fight. HIs last fight was in the 1870's and he was paid a thousand pounds, hence the saying happy as Larry'.

'Thankyou Laura, mystery solved', says Sean
