What are "wallies", I assume it is derogatory, it does not show up on
the first few pages of Google, nor a standard dictionary?


Wally is china. Your granny might have lived in a tenement with a wally
close (the common stair having tiled walls which was a bit posher than
painted) and had wally dugs on the mantlepiece. She also probably had
wallies which she kept in a glass of water beside the bed (china i.e.
false teeth).
