“Piecing, patching & contriving 12 nails & the time of driving wax...”
Piecing, patching & contriving
12 nails & the time of driving
Wax, hemp & the best of leather,
Three & six pence (3/6) all together"
- verse said by a cobbler in reply to a mean woman, the wife of a smith who had employed him to mend the smith's bellows.

“Jim Foley says 'twas a dream Our Lord caught at the miracle of the loaves and fishes.”
Jim Foley says 'twas a bream Our Lord caught at the miracle of the loaves and fishes. Every bream caught since has the mark of one thumb on one side and of four fingers on the other.
