GUEST,Les B	Folklore: 'Waits' and 'Waiting'? - Old term? (13)	RE: 'Waits' and 'Waiting'? - Old term?	11 Aug 00
Fascinating bit of history. In reading this, and the referenced thread on "London Waits," it made me wonder -- if the townspeople didn't have clocks, how did a group of strolling night watchmen/musicians know what hour it was ?? Surely they didn't have wrist watches ! Any ideas ?
