FCUK you too McGraw!

Waltham Abbey Eh! I used to work there 'bout a hundred years ago when I was a boilermaker.

I did read somewhere that folklore has it that King Harold was buried there. His body being taken there after the battle of Hastings. Other stories have it that he survived the wound to the eye and lived to a ripe old age.

The tomb is in the Abbey church, so his patch is here.

The publicity limerick herewith

Waltham Abbey, the church isn't boring
King Harold rests there, if you're touring
A legend round here
Says at night, you can hear
From his tomb, someone peacefully snoring

It isnt King Harold asleep in his tomb
That buzzes the night in the stygian gloom
Its McGrath & the Poet who missed the last train
and they're passing the night with the old king again
