Meaning behind the nursery Rhyme Pop goes the Weasel. : comments [“You love him too, don't you?” ]

Hmm, must be what they tell the docents at the Tower of London to say, then, 'cause that's one of the places I heard the theory.

Well, the guys at the Tower of London are great storytellers but I wouldn't be 100% confident of the accuracy of all of it. And I think it's fairly recent that the story has been debunked. I thought it was true until very recently. The other thing I also heard recently is the thing about the Ravens at the Tower of London. Apparently there's no actual trace of that saying that the monarchy will fall if the ravens leave the Tower until the mid 19th Century. Sometimes these things are products of Victorian whimsy. Victorian London did like it's whimsy!

Btw, I hope I'm not sounding like a smug know-all! I was disappointed myself when I found out it wasn't the case!

No, you're just like Jamie and Adam on mythbusters, bustin' the myths! ;-D

Only without the ginger moustache!

I'm really interested in the history of London and that's why I keep reading things that bust all these cool myths!

Clara teaches Film studies over somewhere is England and she is a history buff who is trying to become a London Tour guide, So I know that she is probably in the know about things such as these!
