On a similar note, can only be considered a true cockney if you could hear the bells of bow, or something like that

The saying " a cock and bull story" comes from 2 pubs/coach houses the cock and the bull in Stony Stratford. They used to try and out do each other with wild claims. As they are on the original roman road from london heading north (now the A5) the stories spread and the saying was born.

So, no pool game tonight and the lads decided we would have a practise night. We need it. There was a group of young lasses in all night. We fed the juke box with all the best songs we could, they never moved. Stuvk a quid in and put on wombles -minuetto allegretto, black lace -agadoo, spitting image -chicken song, captain sensible -happy talk and Jason Derulo ft Snoop Dogg -wiggle. Well the place was a bouncing.

So the pointless fact of the day.

Many a good tune to be playec on an old fiddle 🙂 🙂

 

[SimonG]

Or is that old tune and good fiddle?
