Well I Never Knew That the story
It all started in a pub.
A bet to create a new word in the English language.
That has turned into a gargantuan project of tracking down and linking the most intriguing, fascinating and funniest origins of everyday phrases and names in the English language.
Read it cover to cover, dip in and dip out again, use it as a quiz book after a meal with family or friends or just leave it in the loo. But beware ! Because once your guests start reading it they may not emerge again for some time !
When they do they are bound to say ..
"Well I never knew that !"
Or "WINKT" for short that s the word !
