Hey there,

 

Thanks for taking the time to read this, my brother is in the process of starting a business in Liverpool restoring campers and beetles, the only problem is that his workshop is as cold as a witch's tit! He has a log burner, and well, what with me working down south it makes no sense for me to drive some 250 miles to drop of my days work worth of logs.. He is only starting out his business so funding is tight, so I'm not asking for split and seasoned, just if you are working around Liverpool city centre and what to off load some wood, from your days graft then I'm sure there will be a nice brew and some chocolate hob nobs awaiting, I no this is cheeky but from one arborist to another... Can anyone help a brother out..

 

 

Thanksfor taking the time to read this

Much love

And safe working to y'all!!

Just googled it.

The simple explanation is that "colder than a witch's tit" is just a vivid metaphor, like "hotter than the hinges of hell." Since a

witch is in league with Satan, presumably she has no maternal feelings. Thus the medium by which she would suckle a child is,

well, cold as a witch's tit.

 

But there's some history behind this wisecrack. A witch's tit (or witch's teat, to use the older spelling) supposedly left a marking

that witch hunters and courts would look for on the body of an accused person. Supposedly, witches would suckle their

familiars, and sometimes the Devil himself, from this "unholy" body part. To find these marks, as well as insensitive spots on the

skin called devil's marks--caused by the Devil's claws or teeth--the suspects were stripped, shaven, then closely examined for

any blemishes, moles, or even scars that could be labeled as diabolical. To find marks invisible to the eye, the examiner would

poke the victim inch by inch with a blunt needle (called a bodkin) until they found a spot that didn't feel pain or bled. Discovery

of these marks or spots--one supposes they would be considered cold since they were a sign of communion with the

Devil--would be "proof" of the person's dealings with Scratch, so they would be shown in full court before the execution.

 

Yes,i have too much tme on my hands today and i really should be doing something more usefull......
