	Dear All Hello I've never heard that expression before! There was a pub around here, but it had an extremely rude name. You would not believe the trade it did. The police kept closing it down! However, property developers purchased the site. Now a sort of restaurant. Take gentle care all and be good! Best wishes Elizabeth, EOS xx
