I love hearing funny little facts such as :

Being on off the wagon when abstaining from or drinking alcohol comes from condemned prisoners on the way to Tyburn to be executed. They could stop at Inns for a few pints while on the road and when they’d supped up they were put back on the wagon.


LB abbreviated for pound as a unit of weight comes from Libra. The scales.

Anymore favourites?

Don’t Google, just share random ones you have heard.
