I detect the assumption that the title "she what must be obeyed" has been
given perhaps a cockney[1] spin. The author of "She (*who* must be obeyed)",
H(enry) Rider Haggard, actually went to a *grammar* school - although he had
quite an aristocratic background. The problem was that his father had run
out of sufficient liquid funds by the time it was his turn to be educated so
he missed going to a fee ("public") school like his elder brothers.
It's thanks to a recent BBC late night program that I'm able to pick up on
this one - always checked with Wikipedia of course - and perhaps helped by
having read "She" at a very young age.

Every time I moved house "she what must be obeyed" mandated a clean-out

Nothing that old would have survived - even fiche.
