I'm off doing research, so I thought I'd share some of it with you. These are records from the Elizabethan workhouse prison in London, which dealt with prostitution, vagrancy, and moral crimes that for one reason or another (usually simply because the offenders were picked up in the City by the watch) didn't go before the Ecclesiastical courts

:) It's nice to see you post; I've been wondering where you are. (In the UK, perhaps? With Mr. V?)

Very amusing, the above. *g* Apparently I've been wrong for years and history is, in fact, fun. :D Or at least funny. :D:D

Gee, you mean the facts and figures part of History didn't inspire the Mathematician in you? I'm much more about the characters, of course!

Yep. I'm in the UK for a little while and will be again in the spring.

Oh, fun! Cheese poacher! XD Have you got any more?

I've got tonnes and tonnes of it, but it's mostly variations on these themes. I confess that there's been only the one cheese thief!
