Brendan O'Carroll's book "The Mammy", what's the C.L.I.F.F. ref on Redser's tattoo?

Question

I don't think it means what the narrator thinks, the singer, because then why would it be broken into individual letters like that?

Answer 1

I've not read it but it seems quite interesting! I'll make a date.
I perused through all this:

1.) A dead husband can't stop Agnes Browne from providing for her family of seven children. Inner-city Ireland of the 1960s provides challenges, heartbreak, and laughter as Agnes struggles to keep her family together amidst the poverty and concerns of a rough lifestyle. Whether helping out friends or trying to fend off an over-amorous French suitor, Agnes handles it all with aplomb and strength.
2.) As the mother of seven children and the widow of the recently departed Redser, Agnes Browne knows she must act quickly to keep food on the table. With her best friend Marion for support Agnes appears at the welfare office as soon as she can. Agnes is rebuffed by the bureaucracy because Redser died only that morning and Agnes must wait for a death certificate. The events of daily life in the Browne family make you laugh till you cry.

APPEAL:
1.) Great storyline that keeps the pages turning!
Memorable, quirky characters that manage to combine a sense of humor and poignancy.
Some of the British slang is hard to understand, but it's always great and fun and an adventure trying to figure it out!
2.) Hilarious. A poor Irish childhood in the late sixties, but rendered with humor and pathos.

NOTES (language, violence, sex, humor, satire):
1.) Some graphic language.
First in the Agnes Browne trilogy.
2.) Hilarious. A poor Irish childhood in the late sixties, but rendered with humor and pathos.
