"I saw an interesting thing in the telly today" I said to Hubby :kiss
"It's something I saw on Time Team, it's about how the man who used to carry falcons in a sort of cage built around him was called a cadger, and that's where the saying comes from ...'To cadge a lift' ..... but I'll research it first". "No" said Hubby "Just put it on the site. You could be wrong, which will be interesting, it'll open up a debate".
After I had reminded him that I am never wrong :-D I discovered I was :?
It seems there are varying opinions on this saying. We'd love to hear yours. [0.14..MZAWF.png] :read
