Hi Kurt
DARG - A Scottish/Northern English word meaning a days work.
Joker

According to my Concise OED 'darg' is defined as follows:

darg n. (Sc.) Day's work; definite amount of work, task. [ME, f. daywerk or daywark day-work]

(Sc. = Scottish; ME = Middle English)

New one on me as well!!

I have just checked this in my Chambers and lo and behold there it is.

Thanks to all of you that came up with the answer.Whoever compiled for the Melbourne Herald Sun must have scraped that up in the historical Museum.

What a brilliant tip Dizzy. I'll be using google define in future
