Blimey O'reilly how on earth does a thread get dragged up after 8 years, with no explanation as to why, has someone been looking for it for all those years and just found it? |

Usually it is only the first word of the rhyme that is said i.e. one would say All gone out dressed in their whistles. Gone for a ball down the frog to the rub for a pigs. My plates are killing me etc etc. Also I never knew it was a London thing about pronouncing one's 'T's, but it has been remarked upon, especially by the children. I do come from London by the way, haven't always lived in Sunny Shropshire. Janet |

Rub a dub - pub Pigs ear - beer And three now that I won't put the meanings to. The first is a double rhyme. Arris - Aristotle - Aristotle - Bottle - Bottle and Glass - a*** Friar Tuck - **** and for all you who innocently call people a Berk Berkley Hunt - **** |
