In my class at school, we were all tarred with the same title of 'idiot' by one teacher in particular.

In fact, one day he promoted me to 'blithering idiot' & he was probably correct. I relished the upgrade.

Noswaith dda, Suzanne (good evening).

There is a village in Northamptonshire (Wappenham) in 1881C where all people aged over 70 were classed as "idiots". About 10 of them in total. Probably all a bit deaf and enumerator was having a bad day.

None of the aged villagers had been promoted to "blithering". What an accolade, Dermot :-D One of our teachers called us all "dressed up drinks of water".

Hello all

I know an idiot who is looking for a village :-D

I remember when I was a lot younger (about 60 years younger!) when autograph books were in vogue...and I don't mean today's magazine before someone suffering from nappy rash jumps on that theme...when one rellie would write in a new book "By hook or by crook, I'll be first in this book" Then another would squeeze their phrase in any available space aboveit, "By powder and shot, I'll see that your not"

Sometimes some of the posts on many recent threads remind me of that game ;-)
