Keep it under your hat.


 "Keep it under your hat" is just one of those phrases we trot out without giving it a second thought. I learnt recently that archers used to keep their spare bow strings under their hats to keep them dry. A wet bowstring was of absolutely no use to them.

Have a great weekend.

  3. Apparently train stokers kept ther sandwich under their hat (true or false?) Sounds like a good story, but bowstrings I would believe.

Getting up to mischief

Isn't it a tad frustrating when you see something you think you'd really enjoy and you can't manage it for a multitude of reason...
