Subject: Folklore: Doh - those old saying - am I right?
Am I making a stretch too far?
1) Born under a gooseberry bush. is that bush the joke?
2) What the Stork brought. Stalk?
3) Fairground ride - Tunnel of Love. Victorian reference to the obvious?
the latter I have long suspected but the first two only just made it to realisation.
What do 'Catter think? Or am maligning our forebears?
