Sounds like a sheep stealer. One of my ancestors was hanged for that in the 13th century.Originally posted by Tingles View PostMy good lady and I were walking out on bank holiday Monday at the Winter garden in Sheffield.....
We were enjoying the scenery and talking about 'her' student days... when a man of around 18 years of age, stood in front of us and asked...
"Are you looking for any meat?"
We said both said "no..."
He sheepishly retreated...
Is this a euphemism for something???

I got asked that outside a school gate while I was waiting for PRC-2.1 to complete a game of chess.
They had a bag full of very dodgy looking buts of pork that they promised had only come out of the freezer that morning.
Ah, the joys of away chess matches in Croydon.
