I was bought a calendar of 'Forgotten English' for Christmas that details old, lost words day by day and yesterday's word was 'Gardyloo'. This was the call sign of medieval maids just as they emptied the contents of the chamber pot, out of the window, into the street below!
Sir Alan Stanford with his 'dealings' and the fallout for Giles Clarke and the ECB - Gardyloo!
Coincidence?
A fitting word of the day!
