Thanks for the replies everybody. That's a version of an old traditional folk type rhyme, a bit like the old Bells of St Clements sort of thing.

Maureen, one of the police " ladies " used to call me Sergeant PMT when I was her supervisor. I wonder what she meant ???? :roll: :roll: ;)

Thanks Irene, good to see you appearing again.

GLENNY !!!! YOU'RE BACK. :D BONZA !

Thanks Bob. Did I mention that the Knights WON, :lol:

Thanks Jim.There was a time when when society's rulers went in fear of revolution for putting up taxes.

Far be it from me to be silly Heather..... :roll: :roll: ;) :)
