Sheenagh offers the following…
Lots of History came from England which is very interesting and sometimes weird……………..?
There is an old Hotel/Pub in Marble Arch, London…
…which used to have gallows adjacent. Prisoners were taken to the gallows (after a fair trial of course) to be hung.
The horse drawn dray, carting the prisoner was accompanied by an armed guard, who would stop the dray outside the pub and ask the prisoner if he would like ”ONE LAST DRINK”.
If he said YES it was referred to as ONE FOR THE ROAD.
If he declined, that prisoner was ON THE WAGON.
So there you go…
More history…
They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot & then once a day it was taken & sold to the tannery. If you had to do this to survive you were “Piss Poor”. But worse than that were the really poor folk who couldn’t even afford to buy a pot. They “Didn’t have a pot to Piss in” and were the lowest of the low.
And that’s the truth… Now, whoever said History was boring!
A little known fact….
The first testicular guard, the “Cup”,
Was used in Hockey in 1874 and
The first helmet was used in 1974.
That means it only took 100 years for men to realize that their brain is also important.
