The deeds of my house say I'm not allowed to be a fellmonger or a tallow candle maker or a manure merchant by way of business. What? How can you bear to live in a house in which you are not allowed to be a fellmonger???? Pah.... they are just mean! I can keep pigs if I want to though. !! Oh, well that is a relief Unless Christine is telling porkies. A fellmonger is a dead cow plucker. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fellmongery No, I am not telling porkies, it truly does say that on my house deeds. A fellmonger is someone who will visit farms to take away "fallen stock" i.e. animals that have died. They usually processed them into animal food. We had a fellmonger only two miles away from here until recently. He used to advertise himself as "Thomas Tertius Ross, fellmonger and licensed horse slaughterer" You could smell his yard half a mile away. There's no danger I'll fall foul of my deeds, it's a job I would not want if it was the last job in the world. At a pinch I could do tallow candle-making and as for being a manure merchant, well - lots of chicken manure here to sell! Tina |
