A childhood rhyme I remember- "Fe, fi, fo, fum, I smell the blood of an Englishmun."
The ogre said that in "Jack and the Beanstalk."

Child Rowland to the dark tower came.
His word was still "Fie, foh and fum,
I smell the blood of a British man."

'usual bloody cold'- I get them in ships, with their recirculated air going to all the cabins. Always a sad end to a cruise. Never thought to blame the English, -
