A Myth About the Saying Keep it Under Your Hat
this is all true.
Thank you
Great fun!
Thank you!
Are they out already?
No this is an old video of mine I found
Ooh that water looked murky 😂. Love the tree 👍
It's a very nice area to go for a walk
I would love it if you added a bit of speech on something like this. What is it, where is it. Just a quick description. 👍
I will try and do another one and say something about it
Is it possible to have a swim when the tide comes in?
You can swim off the southern part of the city of Portsmouth, Southsea and Eastney. But I wouldn't swim in the north of Portsmouth Harbour because of the water quality.
not a lot to write home about !
Well at least they had parchment to write home on
If that Harbor could talk… The stories it could tell would be amazing!
I am sure you're right
My how times have changed!
Yes, indeed
Beautiful.
Thank you. It's a very nice area for walking.
Really good stuff. Thank you.
You're welcome
I'd love for you to be able to give me the origins of my surname, Maddison, It could have originated from Durham as I've managed to trace my ancestry to there as a focal point.
It comes from the Medieval woman's name Madde, a variation of Maud. It was originally Madde's son. (Today it can spelt either Madison or Maddison). If your father (or less commonly your mother) was someone important you might be given their name as your surname, like Madde's son, John's son, Robin's son etc. I don't know who Madde was but you are right your surname does seem to have originated from Durham. The earliest record of people with the surname Maddison comes from there.
@@TimLambert101 Thanks for that, I know now I can at least trace my ancestry back to medieval times.
👍Excelent informative video thankyou🙏🙏🙏
You're welcome
Excellent
Thank you
On a train ride from Bristol to Edinburgh the train pulled into the station at Newcastle. My sister and I got out a bag containing two lumps of coal and threw them out the window. They fell near the feet of man who looked up and scowled at us. I can imagine what might have happened if he had put the law on us. The headline would have read- “Two American Tourists Arrested for Carrying Coals to Newcastle.” Didn’t Flash in the Pan also have a connection to early flash photography? An ember would tough powder in a pan to illuminate the scene. I wish you would make the connection between its usage in every case. That’s the most interesting part to me. I taught many students whose parents who not native English speakers. These were useful lesson for theses AND their parents. On Corn Street in Bristol’s banking center (centre lol) they still have these nails where trade took place.
The phrase 'flash in the pan' was used in the 17th century long before photography was invented.
Why isn't the Plaza a cinema now, it would be so much better.
Many cinemas have closed in my lifetime because not enough people go to the cinema regularly to support them all anymore.
@TimLambert101 hopefully they do something with the building to benefit the community
The apple in "apple of my eye" meant the orb of your eyeball. It was saying that the referenced person is truly like a very part of you. 😊 👁️🍎
Yes. Psalm 17:8: "Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings"
Please explain to American's, it's I could not care less. I could care less makes no sense. But Neath do American s.
They have their own version of English, with many different words and phrases.
Thanks for all your hard work & the lovely scenery. I think, however, "Beyond The Pale" is more likely in reference to 'The Pale of Settlement' which was a far-western region of the Russian Empire that existed from 1791 to 1917, where Jewish populations were sent .. and beyond which Jewish residency was mostly forbidden. It was very poor quality land, deliberately chosen as such .. Not unlike the impoverished areas that the US government sent its indigenous people .. as did Australia & Canada ...
I am afraid that cannot be true because the phrase was used long before 1791. Beyond the Pale was certainly being used as a phrase in England in the 17th century. As well as the pale around Dublin there was a pale around Calais, which the English held until 1558. But it seems to me the Dublin pale is the most likely origin of the phrase.
Heck was less profane than hell.
Yes
Before anaesthetics anyone undergoing surgery was given something to bite on maybe a piece of leather or wood
Hello Tim love the Origins of the old Sayings.I Noticed a Blue Plaque on one of The houses .Who lived There ?.Thanks
This explains the blue plaque openplaques.org/plaques/10703
Thank you so much❤
You are welcome
I would take anyone saying they know the true meaning, with a grain of salt. Like...why save your money for a rainy day? When people lived on farms, there were a lot of chores on sunny days. When it rained, there weren't as many. So, that would be the day to go into town and get other things sorted. A good time to spend some of your cash.. Put your orders in at the various stores you'd do business with. Stop at the bank to settle accounts. Show up at the local saloon to catch up with the guys.
they still use "poke" to mean bag, in glasgow[2024]
Thank you. I didn't know.
I have two good examples, my surname is Bowler however I also have an ancestor with the surname of Earwalker.
Bowler was a man who made bowls. I have heard of Earwaker. I must admit I have never come across Earwalker. I will see if I can find out anything about it.
Very interesting thanks . I’d love to know where this was filmed - do I recognise Portsmouth and Langstone harbours, Porchester castle etc ?
Yes, you do. It's very nice scenery around there.
If you go back to the origin of old sayings are they still old sayings? Because back then at the origin, they were new.......
They are old now, whatever their origins
Intresting
Thank you
@TimLambert101 insight is a grand thing
Great to.learn where the saying originate from
Thank you
Fantastic video! Thank you Tim and the algorithm gods!
Thank you
Anyone here from barncroft school 1958-1964 ?.
Thank you :)
You are welcome
Nicely done. You could go on forever as there are so many expressions and they're fundamental to language. Would love to know where the beautiful images are from. Good show!
Some of them from Petersfield in Hampshire. Some from Portchester (famous from its Roman fort), Some from Titchfield and some from a hill overlooking Portsmouth.
Nicely done i say old boy! Here' here..
Thank you very much

Why do they say On the wagon??
It's not certain where this phrase comes from. but it meant abstaining from alcohol. This is the most likely explanation: The phrase was first recorded in 1901 (but the exact words used were 'on the water cart', later it became on the water wagon and then just on the wagon. In the 19th century, there were water wagons in cities. They didn't carry drinking water. Instead, they sprayed water on the street to dampen dust when it was hot and the roads were dusty. (It probably wasn't very healthy to drink the water!) In the 19th century, there was a powerful temperance movement. Some men pledged never to drink alcohol. Some men said they would rather drink water from the water wagon than drink alcohol. To be on the wagon meant you were abstaining. If you fell off the wagon you were back to drinking again!
I knew most of these but you rarely hear people use them in current year
I still sometimes hear them
Brilliant. Loved this. Truly reminded me what being British means. Thank you.❤
Thank you very much
Wholesome.
Thank you
This is kinda weird for me since I’ve grown up in Petersfield my whole life and seeing all the locations 10 years ago it makes me realise how much has changed
Many parts of Southeast Hampshire have changed a lot
Love it
Thank you
brilliant
Thank you
Great bits !,,my favorite invention is the modern water heater !
Yes, there are so many inventions that have made life more comfortable but we seldom hear about the inventors
@@TimLambert101 my interest in many U addressed was "when",,,thank u
Rule of thumb also references the fact that a man was allowed to beat his wife, providing that the stick was no thicker than his thumb!
No, it does not. There has never been a rule or a law in England that a man is entitled to beat his wife provided he uses a stick no thicker than his thumb. William Blackstone (1723-80) wrote Commentaries on the Laws of England (1765-1769). He made no mention of a supposed rule that a stick could be used to hit your wife if it was not thicker than a thumb. So it was never a part of English common law. I made a video to debunk this myth. ruclips.net/video/KyARzkr9lOw/видео.html
Love this video. Very knowledgable. I appreciate someone posting the meanings of sayings.
Thank you very much
@@TimLambert101 They should be taught in school, along with English surnames and such in a class of British History!
Good video: educational and straight to the point. Thank you
Thank you
Some of these have more than one explanation
Possibly
Love this, thank you - very interesting.
