When i spoke of kidding, I was referring to somebody's joke about bad spelling, not to the Chaucer which preceded it.

Thanks for posting the Chaucer. I like that old stuff.

It occurs to me that as an outlaw, Robin probably had two outfits --a green one for spring and summer and a reddish-brown one for fall and winter.

Duh!

In my mental images of Robin Hood, it is always summer because they made the movies and TV shows in summer. But that doesn't mean that it was always summer in Robin's time. Too bad, eh?
