I did the coast to coast walk about twenty five years ago. After trudging through the lakes from St Bees for a few days, we walked around a corner and saw,dead ahead, a 'Cloutie Tree'.

It was a massive oak festooned with beautiful coloured ribbons and scrap of cloth. Some had messages, one was from a Japanese lad who promised his dad that he would travel to England and put up a ribbon for the ancestors.

I think cloutie means cloth.

True.
It's changing, ever so slowly, for the better though.

And, for the benefit of the Southern wankas, in the context of the saying, a 'clout' is a vest.

PS where 'vest' can be a weskit.
