Once upon a time it was claimed that rugby was a game for hooligans, played by gentlemen. Inappropriate behaviour was confined to the signing of lewd songs such as this:
Four and twenty virgins came down from Inverness,The composer of this ditty was clearly not a linguist. Four and twenty less? Four and twenty fewer!
And when the ball was over there were four and twenty less…
Can anyone think of a place name that rhymes with fewer?
