:roll:I hate to say this but I think the boards are becoming dull due to the very fact that every darn thread turns into a slanging match between certain individuals. It’s enough to put genuine posters off being arsed to contribute.

4 March, 2011 at 12:22 pm #461400MAD AS A HATTER…Some people say the phrase comes from the fact that in the 18th and 19th centuries hat makers used mercury nitrate in their work. Exposure to this chemical does indeed send you mad. .
However according to some people the origin of this phrase is much older. Hatter is a corruption of the Saxon word ‘atter’, which meant adder or viper. Furthermore ‘mad’ originally meant poisonous. So if you were mad as an atter you were as ‘poisonous’ (bad tempered or aggressive) as an atter (adder). It goes to show that often it is impossible to be certain where old sayings come from

If you considered that a contribution to a slanging match then I obviously over estimated you. :roll:
Anyway, with regard to the actual thread…
Mad as a hatter… that would explain why all the Lutonians (in the hub of the hat industry) including my ex seemed to have a couple of cogs missing lol4 March, 2011 at 8:04 pm #461402well at least now she got this thread going she stopped telling us how to boil an egg :wink:
