Fascinating read there Andrew. Didn't realise the saying "Born with a silver spoon in your mouth" came from an age when the Bubonic Plague was ravaging Europe...........I must remember that one for the quiz night questions!
Lots of other interesting little facts and figures there too Andrew...............thanks for the post.
