Lots of ‘food for thought’ there, Martin. (Sorry). Some years ago I read that the ‘ne’er cast a clout’ is not about the month of May but about May blossom. Wait until the blossom is out before casting that clout!
I heard that later on. I'm not sure whether my mum knew about May blossom being a cockney. Or maybe it was me who didn't know about it and assumed she meant the month.
Hi Martin, as usual you entertain us with your amusing but thought provoking comments.
Always a pleasure to read anything you have written…

That's very kind. I'm glad you liked it.
