So women who were believed to have close relationships with animals, particularly cats, dogs or familiars, were often suspected of witchcraft.
I'm sorry, but all those f***ers that have made Instagrams for their pets, dead.
Oh!
Witch, witch, witch.
Hear ye, hear ye, and welcome back to another episode of Tea at Four.
Today I present to you as old Christabel of new street joined today with young maiden
lauren of white chapel and today we are dressed
and today we are dressed in such characters for lauren it is women's history month so we thought
it'd be fun to do an episode on period pains, aka the pains women have faced in history
and how they've got us here today.
Yes.
As we sit before you doing a podcast.
Yes.
Could you even imagine explaining this concept to a Victorian child?
Yes.
Oh, okay.
Actually, no, I couldn't, but yes to what you're saying.
Just quickly, one thing that always blows my mind.
Imagine explaining the concept of the masked singer to a Victorian child.
You don't.
That last weekend I saw a dancing maypole, a dancing, singing air fryer.
Could you just imagine explaining that?
I think they'd think you're very crazy.
I'd be put in the asylum.
Yeah.
So, here's an example of when that has happened in history.
All right, let's go.
Now, because this episode is entitled Period Pains,
not all of it's going to be about menstruation,
but I did find out some interesting goss.
Okay.
About how people treated women when they're on their pee.
Oh, right.
Back in the day.
Let's hear it.
So, an interesting one I actually read
was that they used to shove weed up their vagene.
Weed. On their time of the month. weed the old marijuana so burnt weed or just clear weed uh no i don't think they smoked it and
then they're right now that's done remnants up um no it said marijuana has been used has long
been used to combat period pain according to the 2002 book of women in cannabis,
the use of weed as period pain relief
stems back to ancient Egypt.
And they'd essentially grind up the weed with honey
and introduce it to the vagina
to cool the uterus and eliminate its heat
as a way to ease cramps.
And in 19th century,
Queen Victoria was prescribed marijuana
i might say marijuana do i keep saying marijuana no you're saying it right i love that
by a doctor in order to combat menstrual discomfort wow so will you be trying that no i
don't want to put no weed up my vagina i don't think it's something that's very sanitary. No. And I think it's expensive these days.
Weed?
Is it?
I don't know.
You guys tell us.
You guys are in the club.
How expensive?
That is actually quite interesting though.
You're right.
Sorry, it's a fucking plague.
Oh gosh, I don't want that next to me.
No, sorry.
By the way, just for context,
I've had the fucking black plague this weekend um because i've been method acting move over he fledger in dark night damn
um yeah so that's an interesting one yeah another one was in medieval times um so there was a lot
of religious shame around menstruation here um and women would take precautionary measures to
dispel any suspicions that she was on her period.
They would wear herbal pouches around the neck
to mask the odour of blood,
and they often carried the remains of a cremated toad
near their waist as a cramp remedy.
That's absolutely disgusting.
Thoughts on carrying a frog on your pee?
I mean, I know they say kiss frogs,
so now you're going to carry the...
No, the princess has to kiss many frogs to find her.
You don't believe that. No, of course not. But then if you're kissing frogs and now you're going to carry the princess has to kiss many frogs to find her. You don't believe that.
No, of course not.
But then if you're kissing frogs
and now we're burning toads.
You're not burning them.
You're just hanging it
on your waistline.
Yeah, but regardless
like you're around your Gucci belt.
That's too disgusting.
And toads stink.
Yeah, that's the point I think.
Yeah.
I'm so happy you weren't
alive those days
because I don't think
I would be able to do that.
I would rather the period just flow.
But then they might kill you for being religious?
No, for being a woman, basically.
Oh, yeah, sorry.
No, what's so funny about that with the religion back in the days,
so in the fourth century,
St. John Christian served as an early archbishop,
quoted, and I quote, what else is a woman but a foe to friendship and inescapable punishment of necessary evil and
natural temptation a desirable calamity of domestic danger and delectable determinants
and evil of nature painted with fair color meaning that because we will go on our period
like spark notes please i'm spitting so much
because we're on our periods apparently we're evil um yeah we shouldn't be trusted wow can you
imagine just because we bleed it's because we yeah but you have to bleed to be able to have
babies and that's what they want to populate the country no right but funny enough back then they
didn't have many periods because they had a lot of childbearing. So I'm guessing, does that mean that nowadays
we just need to be popping out the babies
so that we don't have to carry toads around our waistbands?
Yeah, correct.
Right.
So we're just popping out babies with anybody?
Well, no, it was obviously seen as a very bad, bad thing
to have babies out of wedlock.
Yes.
So women were probably killed for that as well.
Were they hung?
How were they killed?
Oh God, we'll get onto that later. I think the toads would be free on the nhs
they're from the nature's ground yeah no it's probably seen as a currency they didn't have
coins back then they're probably like right i'll give you one toad for toad farming maybe they did
that so obviously let's say for instance you want to get rid of the period i've got a toad farm you pay me xyz i'll give you some toads dragon's den there you go
come on oh my days in the victorian times they also had a way to prevent pregnancy after sex
they shoved opium egg whites goose fat up there to prevent pregnancies from
forming i thought they were poor yes all these things were supposed to be expensive no i'm not
gonna lie no but think about it they they could they could grow eggs not grow eggs sorry they
could they had chickens right we would not survive five minutes i'm pretty sure they had chickens
back then no just from our streets not everyone did, though. Not everyone.
No.
I'm going to like goose fat.
That's up there.
That's expensive.
That's spendy.
That's for your roast potatoes, not your vagina.
It sounded like a roast potato stuffed in your vagina.
It was like a little turkey.
Couldn't you?
A little Christmas turkey.
Oh, my God. That's wild.
And some more facts we found from the Amazing History Gossip on TikTok.
She said that po-
Can I say povos?
Is that a sensible?
Powerful, she says.
Povos were forced to free bleed
and then expected them to be pregnant if bleeding.
They also thought that singing would lead to worse periods
or that music made period cramps worse.
What music would make my period cramps worse?
Rock.
A little bit of bass.
Rock.
A little bit of bass moving my shedding uterus.
Oh my God.
Imagine driving.
You hear,
and then you're just vibrating.
I want to pimp my ride cars.
It's literally manually shedding the root.
Oh my gosh.
What you should have told me.
Singing.
We found these from this girl called the history gossip on tiktok
she is sick
I'm obsessed with her
the way she
like gen zifies history
I wish she was around
when I was
learning it back then
I'd get it
I'd get it
I'd get it
yeah
but miss
mrs
whatever my history teacher was
bring on the history gossip
I literally
I'm scrolling tiktok at night
and then I see the word
utus a fetus
I'm clicking on
what is that oh my day at night and then i see the word uterus fetus i'm clicking on what is that oh my
day obsessed okay and then quickly i want to say um as far as back as ancient greece women were
not seen as equals to men christy in his work on the generation of animals aristotle stated that
a woman is essentially a deformed male hey and that menstrual discharge and that menstrual discharge is semen in
an impure form and lacks a soul bless you aristotle did you get many women i don't think you did we
did some research as well into the salem witch trials back in the day in massachusetts where
just normal women would just be an absolute persecutor for being witches i think i'd definitely get caught for like being a witch back then if i was watching tarot card
readers at 11 p.m at tiktok um so basically you wouldn't survive your first period i think
so these women that were accused of being witches were hung they were burnt at the stake they were
uh what else christy they were dunked in water so
the dunking and swimming test i think for me personally that would be the one that i would
basically die on because i think everyone would die no no because apparently no because apparently
it's like they dunk you in water right and if you float that means you're guilty and if you sink
and you drown that means you were telling the truth right so obviously in my mind
i'm thinking i don't want to drown and i am telling the truth so i wouldn't want to float
but i want to float because i want to be alive no see this is the thing one key detail you're
missing is that they tied your arms and feet together are we so i don't even got a choice
to go in your head should i see yeah but you can still
no you think you can survive by having your your body bound yeah you just gotta relax the body
right i didn't get to all that in your lesson lessons but yeah i think i think that one for
me that is very very like that's crazy that's dark that's i wouldn't say dark the burning
is dark oh yeah sorry that one is dark this one is
a bit like we will allow you but what would you rather be burnt or being hung oh god i hate this
would you rather can i drink but no i just feel like out of all of them i would rather the dunk
in swimming test uh yeah i guess so i think drowning
would be a terrible way to die and you know you've got an audience as well you know you see your
mother mother sister aunt all in the crowds yeah they can everyone you went to school with they're
all coming to watch the witch be put in the swimming pond i'll be staring at them looking
at them like yeah because you didn't want to come and save me this is what you get so i'm gonna haunt you for the rest of my life how about that curse curse how about this
and then all the crows come on your body and then imagine yeah that could have happened
has anyone reported on that again write in the comments if you've been at the salem witch trials
uh can we get tickets any any tickets yeah there definitely would have been tickets oh my gosh
anyway is that like ticket master or like oh my god ax axs ax tickets
can i get box vip box oh my being great with the. What kind of snacks do you think they had? What?
What kind of snacks did they have?
What snacks?
Back in the day, like frog's eyes.
Frog's eyes.
Legs and...
Snails and stuff.
Snails and bits.
Popcorn.
Popcorn.
Slammy.
Got many drinks.
Are we having a little tipple whilst we're watching the old dunk?
Yeah.
A nice little cranberry juice made of beetroot or something.
A cranberry juice not made of cranberries, but yeah, right.
Yeah, but some of the reasons why women were thought to be witches are very interesting.
The first one is an unusual appearance.
So people that deviated from societal norms of appearance were often suspected of witchcraft.
This could include physical deformities or abnormalities such as birthmarks moles or extra digits moles oh my
god i'm from the isle of wight i'd be slung quarters slung is it hung i've got a mole
yeah you'd be gone babe because of a mole jokes you drawn that one because you're in renaissance thank you period beyonce's renaissance anyway the next one is association with animals so women who
are believed to have close relationships with animals particularly cats dogs or familiars
were often suspected of witchcraft i'm sorry but all those fuckers that have made instagrams for
their pets dead oh which which which just so funny i feel like the
i understand cats because cats have a kind of a link to like witches and stuff and in the western
not in the western world back home we call cats um witches really especially a black cat oh it's a
black cat that's walking down your porch walking down road. That is a witch about to come and give you some bad luck.
Really?
Yeah.
Ooh la la.
Ooh la la la la la la la la la.
Right, where does that start from?
But you know what else is quite even funny and interesting about that as well is like
social disputes and grudges.
So basically, if I hated you, I could call you a witch.
Fair.
So valid.
That's a personal vendetta.
That is so peak.
Yeah.
So what kind of thing could I be doing to piss you off
and you've just gone?
Maybe you didn't greet me.
I think they were mad petty back then.
I feel like they were petty as hell.
So you didn't greet me.
Or let's say, for instance,
a guy...
When we linked up,
you didn't say it right.
Right.
Or a guy wanted to take you out
and you're like,
oh, he spiders anyway.
Yeah.
There you go.
She's a witch.
Get her in the pond. There you go. She's a witch. Get her in the pond.
There you go.
Wow.
Can you imagine?
Imagine.
You basically have to be fake around people and just be very extra nice.
Yeah.
I think you'd have to look a type of way, though, if you're a witch back then.
Maybe everyone looked the same, just a bit rugged and had moles.
Imagine.
So another type of pain in history women have faced is the suffragettes my girls don't know
why i did a hunger game symbol that's different that's a different thing anyway when women were
in prison back in the old suffragettes times yeah i literally don't know a history timeline you can
tell me i just know they wore a lovely stash yeah um women were obviously doing hunger
hunger strikes to get across their point their message yeah and um actually interesting a
porridge company an oats company made this whole promotional poster basically showing a lovely
steaming bowl of porridge and they sent them all into the prisons to make the women break the hunger strikes
and then the promotional poster said um v brackets oats for women votes for women
tea so whilst they were so whilst they were in in like day what 45 of that hunger strike
the porridge companies are going i don't know what we'll get them i don't know what we'll get them our lovely big porridge big bowl of gruel and they've sent
them into the prisons and they've made them cook up in big batches and then it's a funny funny
thing they've made promotional posters to be like hit votes we know we'll make a break
how terrible that is actually our order it's awful we're trying to stand for our rights yeah
and you're trying to shove it in our faces yeah like fuck you guys i'm gonna break you guys anyway
you know you they were back then like wow so petty no i think that's actually very very rude
yeah that's very that's like the equivalent of what would that be now like if they took a tick took off okay oh subway have you smoked subway i've had that in a i'll be
i'll be in prison subway like i'll send it footlong i'll send it footlong oh you've never
had subway it's been a while it's been a it's been a but still it's a known thing that the
smell of subway is delectable what about mcdonald's that was what made me break
mcdonald's fries and suffragette mcdonald's suffragette mcdonald's
mcdonald's yeah fries oh oh my god i'd hear that i'd be transported and then oh yeah let's have
some fries salty fries yeah okay this is not health problems but maybe sexual problems sexual
health problems um but it was the thing that cleopatra apparently when she got a bit horny had those
old pains down there she got her servants to put and capture bees into a box and then she used it
as a vibrator huh no yeah that's painful no it didn't touch her foof yeah but then if you put
buzzing i hear was inside the...
I hear it, but the box is not quite smooth, is it?
Think about it.
How do you know, Christy?
Yeah, but a box, Lauren, a box.
Cobbled box, wooden box, back in those days?
Well, Egyptian times, I'd maybe say a sarcophagus.
Oh, my God.
I never told you, at Christmas,
Cam was going to get me a mini sarcophagus necklace
because we went to ancient Egypt
VR experience at Stratford once
and then he was like
I was going to get you an actual Egyptian
Tutankhamun necklace
I was like
I'm so glad you did
for you to wear or for you to use as a
wear
to take the little Tutankhamun out
oh wow
interesting
scary
you missed the mark on that one.
Yeah.
Another one that women have been...
Oh, my God.
What happened?
Are you on Lobotomy Talk?
What did?
Lobotomy Talk.
Lobotomy TikTok.
TikTok.
Is that like a trend?
Well, we...
No, it's not a trend.
Hopefully not.
Basically, there's this...
It wasn't even a trend.
This man...
Let me see his name this man called walter
freeman started this fucking thing in the 1900s where he just decided to shove ice picks up
women's nose who were suffering from maybe hysteria or emotional or menopausal issues
he'd shove an ice pick up their nose or through their eye and twist it around and make a brain
or through their eye and twist it around and make a brain slushy because look at for die yep he did and they made a blame a brain slushy slushy and women will
actually just allowed Oh women wouldn't have thoughts afterwards so of course I
think about the nose but yeah but why because women were going through like emotional turmoil and stuff and they're like
i know what we'll do we'll numb them of all feeling um and they would come out of these
surgeries just be like do you know what i find quite like concerning is that back in the day
women were basically used as like test like lab rats yeah basically yeah because there's no way why couldn't they do
it in um and on a guy's face men were meant to be strong you know well so men did have it as well
but i think the fact that women were had any feeling at all like it wasn't seen as a nice
thing for a woman to express any kind of mental health issues or you know depression anxiety
everything like postnatal depression
back then it wasn't accepted so then they'd put women through these things like lobotomies
where they've taken all brain power out so they couldn't even function i don't like this
let's cut the cameras yeah i like this it's terrible It's terrible, isn't it? Honestly. Yeah.
Speaking of mental health,
you see how here we've got, like, therapy,
we can talk to people,
we can actually have, like, mental days off?
Yeah.
Back then in the Victorian times.
Yeah.
Anything but.
Anything but that.
But they had something called the water cure treatment.
What's that?
So basically the water cure treatment was a popular treatment for various alignments during...
Aliments.
Aliments.
Alignment would be my posture,
which needs fixing ASAP.
The water cure was a popular treatment
for various...
Aliments.
Aliments.
Various ailments during the Victorian era,
including mental health disorders,
involved submerging patients in water baths
or subjecting them to cold water dousing.
So think the ice bucket challenge or the
witches that were just in the thing basically often a form oh often a form of punishment or
control so i don't understand how that's basically helping your mental health but
women in particular were subjected to the water cure for conditions like hysteria or nervousness
with the belief that the shock of the cold water could restore balance to the body and
mind yeah so how would you feel about that you come to me yeah i'm feeling a bit down i'm like
don't worry i got you come into this water bath well i think they made me want something you know
a little wim hof ice bath yeah scenario they do before work every morning right i mean it
probably wasn't in such a nice nature whether
in a nice bar and a lovely wooden and then afterwards they go for a little sauna afterwards
yeah so that was actually quite interesting i don't think i would want to um cure my nervousness
as that i'll probably just pray where was church that would work yeah where was church back then
where was oh there are lots of churches they also used to
administer
a pelvic massage by a doctor
to women to induce orgasm
and release the hysteria
and men
we wouldn't mind it
what was that sorry
a pelvic massage
what
that is crazy
and also they used to have these fainting couches
yeah so i wouldn't i wouldn't mind if they had couches back then
oh yeah perfect can you you've got the job can you fake with me and
i'd love to know if it was like to faint so they were common pieces of furniture in Victorian homes.
Women were often depicted.
I hate English.
I can't speak it.
So there were common pieces of furniture in Victorian homes.
Fainting spells were attributed to female hysteria,
a catch-all diagnosis for a range of emotional and physical symptoms thought to afflict women.
I need a fainting couch.
I mean, better to faint on a couch than to faint on a living floor.
Do they look different to your basic Ikea couch?
I'm thinking maybe, you know them couches with the long...
Chez Lange?
Voilà .
A nice little...
Yeah.
Soft as well.
Maybe made of sheepskin.
Sheepskin is quite soft.
Stinks.
Yeah, but it'll be soft.
That would wake me up.
But yeah, I think that's actually quite,
I mean, interesting.
Nice for them to think of something.
At least we weren't having the pain of hitting the floor.
There you go.
Positive silver linings, eh?
There you go.
Safety.
Looking after the women.
Yeah.
But you know what I actually want to touch on what how was dating
back then you see how here we've got it so easy okay i wouldn't say it's easy yeah i wouldn't say
it's easy we've got things like you know you got the bumbles you got the hinges yeah you got the
going out and socializing i'm pretty sure back then you had to be a certain age to socialize or
did you not uh a certain age to socialize? Yeah, so like, I think they were
having babies
when Henry the Eighth
was 13.
Henry the Eighth,
I'm looking at you.
Boy.
I know you're watching.
They all had children
very young.
Yeah.
There was one kind of,
I remember reading one thing,
maybe Henry the Seventh
or someone of the sort.
Henry the Seventh?
Had a fucking,
feel to say he was eight
and then he died
and then she was widowed
by the time she was 10.
It's given R. Kelly kelly oh is it not uh i mean eight i don't think he's dealt with eight year old
he's given a very young yeah but um i also read that medieval kings used to say that if she could
if she was old enough to pee she's old enough for me can you no babies pee pee by herself maybe i don't know oh
because that's how i'm going to internalize it because there's no way everybody pees right
yeah if you're old enough yeah right if you're old enough to pee you're old enough for me so
i'm just i'm just hoping it's not like a new baby because that's very very scary oh my god
yeah well concerning that is repulsive
that's disgusting you flipping stupid idiotic medieval kings yeah i bet he didn't even i bet
his friends around were like that's sick bar that is sick i'm living by that let's get let's write
that down yeah i think that's crazy and then you obviously we all know about king henry the eighth
um for him i think he when he was going out with going
out when he was was he married he was married to them in it yeah he wasn't going out he was married
i think he was married to one of them called anne and about seven hands no but it was a katherine
yes right so he was married to anne and um katherine was quite young but he wanted katherine
right and she wasn't ready for him i think they said that she was a bit too young but then he was determined that he was going to get her and of course he
did at the end i just find it very scary the authority that they had back then oh yeah yeah
just pick that's mine be the equivalent like prince what's his name in the uk williams what
prince william prince william what the't know what the hell's going on
i think that's the equivalent to like king william what's his name harry and william prince
prince william yeah duke of william whoa with kate prince william prince william that doesn't
sound right why williams prince williams like robbie williams
god i wish he was the king robbie williams yeah no sorry no what would be the equivalent of him
just going like you know i actually want someone that's in middle school can you find that for me
yeah weird weird i don't know i wouldn't i wouldn't want to assume any king that's out there
or that is running any country right now
has that type of authority
because that's a bit mad
they should feed them
to the lions
well
they would
adultery no?
adultery?
how's that adultery
if you're picking
that's not really adultery
that's um
pedophiles
yeah
in ancient Egypt times
men would administer
nose amputation called rhinotomy which was a punishment
for adulterous women however the adulterous man might escape with a less severe punishment like
a final beating just so annoying it's i feel like because back then women were seen as the
promiscuous type so then of course we would get all the punishment but then yeah the jezebels
you had the names as well there was no whole ratio right for men and i think that's quite crazy i'm pretty sure it's the guys
that went after the girls right but then why is the girl getting more of the punishment than the
guy yeah honestly henry the eighth with no nose oh i'd yeah grab it off him yeah stupid stupid man
shave it off how would they do that
administer nose amputation
and another thing back in the day
back in ancient times they used to kidnap
wives
they used to kidnap a girl if they liked the look of her
and they would abduct her Christy
take her home
grab and go
grab and go
grab a go bag
was that something celebrated go bag but that's something celebrated or
uh yeah people loved it huh yeah i don't think i would like to be grabbed and goad we obviously
are reading these facts now on a timeline from literally the words ancient are being used but
realistically it's crazy that they're still happening now like i can still think of so
many cultures that are out there and i know we sit from a privileged mindset and go like oh this happened back then but really
it's happening on our doorsteps like of course out there in the world now yeah dare i say it but i do
think the patriarchy is still alive 110 percent a lot of people might argue different but i'm reading
like these situations and the kind of punishments in the word ancient in front of it but i i know
when i read
the news every day that i'm seeing this going on on the other side of the world yeah or even
like you know in the uk or around where we live and i think yeah that idea that women
should be put through pain for the things that they do or experience is already like we go
through childbirth it's archaic but it's also going to be contemporary we're going to continue that happening with this mindset that you know if women experience pain they're going to be
punished for it
and welcome to a ye olde what madam madam as lady christabel i shall introduce this segment thank you very much you've just

in the corner of my washroom atop the porcelain throne rests a solitary knife unnoticed by all
save myself its purpose is singular to assist in the division of particularly sizable evacuations, impeding the flush's efficacy.
Unspoken and unheeded, it faithfully fulfills its humble duty.
After each use, a quick rinse returns it to its unassuming abode,
awaiting its next task.
Such is the unremarkable yet essential role of the knife in my lavatory.
Pause.
God bless you.
I know what that one is.
Go on.
Poo knife.
Knife poo.
Women in STEM.
Yeah.
STEM, women in STEM.
I like that one.
I love the way that sounds though.
Okay, they're gonna get older,
so you'll have to think.
This smells like it's been cleaned with a tomato sponge.
Like someone's kitchen has done their lunchbox with it
and then you cleaned it out with a tomato sponge.
No, it stinks.
See, now I haven't smelled it, now I'm smelling it.
It smells like lunchbox.
In the ancient halls of scholarship,
a maiden suffered a mysterious affliction.
Ignorant of its nature, I sought to lighten her distress
with jest, dubbing her a beatboxing legend.
Alas, my old chosen words cast a shadow upon my reputation,
weaving a tale of folly in the annals of school's law.
That sounds so stupid.
Did anyone laugh back in the day?
I don't think so. Maybe. Maybe they weren't allowed to laugh. Maybe only the rich laughed.
Was that a TikTok one?
TikTok?
That was beatboxing, like a,
what?
Whoa.
Whoa.
Whoa?
How many extra syllables
did I want to put on that word?
Do you want to just try again?
That was,
beatboxing,
whoa.
And one more for luck.
Beatboxing legends.
That's it.
Let's get it.
Let's have it.
All right.

You should read Victorian poetry.
You know, the one where they talk about poo.
Victorian poetry.
Have you heard of that?
Well, I'm sure it exists.
There's a poet that used to talk about, like,
he'd go to have sex with a girl and...
Not Shakespeare.
He'd go to have sex with a girl and when there was poo
and seed marks in her pants
you'd get excited.
What?
Where have you got that from?
I've read it somewhere.
Also,
you know
Mozart?
Yes.
Mozart
used to do
song names
about poo
and shit and stuff.
That's an actual thing.
Really?
Mozart
used to make songs like like silly little songs,
and they would be entitled like,
Poo, poo, poo, piss, piss, piss.
Mozart wrote a dirty six-voice canon in B-flat major
entitled, Lech Mik Im Ach, which means,
lick me in the ass.
Ah, ah, ooh, ee, ah.
He was a freak.
He likes a good rim.
Ha! Ha! Ha!

Okay, so,
on Valentine's this year,
my mum tagged me in a post
on Isle of Wight Heritage Centre
and it was of this waxwork that I used to be obsessed with
called Valentine Grey.
He was essentially a waxwork of a chimney sweep
who was 10 years old and he got stuck.
But on the Isle of Wight, there was this waxwork museum
and he was just...
And he was so peggy, he was so fit.
So I was just obsessed with him.
A statue was fit.
