Maurice: Its good to hear from you again. Thanks for saying hello.
Glad to see that the "Real Britts" have taken the bait here. Always looking for some more to join the Legions! Very interesting about the Tee Shirt Maruice. That One I did not know. Do you know the origin of "Mind your P's and Q's"? I am told by John Roche, of our UK office, that the Pub Owner would mark on the chalk board back when the currency was in Quids, how many Pints each Patron would drink, and the Patron would settle up at the end of the evening (The open Bar Tab). (IN the UK of course, the Bar Tender can drink with the patrons, and we usually buy the Bar Tender several pints, to ensure full measure, and toward the evening, we buy pints for other patrons that we become associated with.) It is said that when the Bar Tender has had a few, and is marking the white board for the amount owned in Quid, and marks in the wrong column, (Which indicates how much the patron will owe in Quid), that the patron will ask him to Mind his P's and Q's (Pints and Quids) [email protected] wrote: > > Interesting bit of Trivia on India David! > > Did you know the origin of the name 'Tee Shirt', it was from the Boston > Tea Party. > There was a high wind blowing and moisture was in the air the day the > Colonist tipped the tea leaves over the sides of the boats.
