Re: Just idle thoughts....

Well supposedly, it dates back to the 14th century, when the 'crow' was depicted as having the same shape as a crow's beak,Sweetie. Although this is contested. Shakespeare actually makes reference in Romeo & Juliet,when Romeo says "Friar John;Get me an iron crow & bring it straight to my cell".

but then, according to that Brexit thread,I'm a dim, thick,uneducated moron with the cerebral ability of an acorn....so don't take my word,Sweetie.

But,you're most welcome, milady. xxx
