    Share Share Post
    Some years ago William Chawke R.I.P. was ploughing in his garden and the plough turned up a piece of butter. This. butter was buried in the garden by an old enemy for the purpose of taking the "good" of Chawke's garden and transferring it to the garden of the bad neighbour.
