Originally posted by mangerton View PostThank you, Anna, that was fascinating. Yes, I'm sure some of it is folklore, but the bit about the millstone must be correct, otherwise he'd never have got to Cornwall.
He was asked by the ten Kings of Ireland if he could produce a feast for three weeks for them and their armies whilst they conferred and signed a peace treaty. This he did – but after eating and drinking the Kings felt slighted that there was not more and he was too clever by half, so had an Indignation Meeting. Aware that they had no real reason to impeach him they roused a rabble of peasants and accused him of living without visible means of support and neglecting his saintly duties and miracles.
But, replied St. Piran, I have visible means of support, look at my pretty petrified trinkets that I make money from and – look at my millstone, isn’t it grand? At that the crowd surged up and tied him to the millstone and threw him into the storm tossed sea.
The next thing that the rabble saw as they craned over the cliff was St. Piran floating quietly out to sea on the millstone, for all the world as if on a life-belt, and untying his bonds to use for a fishing-line! You see, this millstone had been made of cork originally, and was only half petrified. When he had finished undoing the cords, he stood up and bowed to them all very politely. "Visible means of support, my children, visible means of support” he called back and proceeded to fish for mackerel all the way to Cornwall.
I think that's a charming story.

We're obviously more interested in how to kill things on this Thread (hence all the comments on detective dramas?) than on removals.
But seriously; I hope all goes better than you'd even hoped and that your CD collection etc arrives together at the correct address in one undamaged piece. And welcome back to Blighty once you get here.[FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]
