A long time ago, there was a theiftaker in Cheshire whose name was Catterling, and he was renowned when he came upon highwaymen & footpads, not just for chopping them into little pieces, but for grinning 'orribly as he did so. "Grin like a Cheshire Catterling", became a byeword. In time, people shortened it to "Cat" and even though it really meant a feline. So the unofficial "trademark" for Nottingham which everone put on their goods was a little Robin Hood; and for Cheshire, a cats head with a grin. You would see it on the end of Cheshire cheeses: just the head, as if the body had vanisghed away. And that's where Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carol) got the idea from. -- (__) (__) (@@) XEMoo.moo.moo (@@) _____(oo) #--(oo)_____ /( / \ # <dav...@xemu.demon.co.uk> / \ )\ * /_x \ / | \ / x_\ * '''''''''''ww''''www.demon.net/castle/x/xemu.html''''ww'''''''''''' travolta - nots -xenu - fishman - ot3 - erlich - osa - hi, clams!
