Pete M, I'm quite relieved about the Yorkshire wife. I was beginning to think that the small world might be TOO small for comfort.

Bert, I'll own up to being in the Dartford area, where we have a Wat Tyler pub, and the site of a rebellion bivouac a mile away from a Templar site. The other source (not the one that believes that peasants had no right, let alone duty, to oppose unjust rule) I have on the subject says that Wat crossed from Essex to lead the Kent band in their attack on London. I've got to rush off to teach astronomy to a Children's University, and am aiming for the library after. They have a pamphlet on Tyler, at least. I definitely remember that at the onset of the rebellion he seems to have been north, perhaps as far as Colchester.

Synchronicity again. BBC Radio 4 has just had a comment on rugby songs, their place in tradition, and how difficult it is to challenge the image of women they convey when the women players have more bawdy songs than the men and can outsing them. Is that a Mudcat subject or not?!
