Hi Kaye

No I did not know that
. How very interesting.  Continuing in the same vein you will probably know 
the song `Green grow the rushes Ho!  I`ll sing you one O etc., You also 
probably know all the lines  7 for the 7 stars in the sky and 6 for the six 
proud walkers and so on interminably. I only found out the other day that " 5 
for the symbols at your door" refers to the 5 cockle shells which were 
displayed by those who had been on the pilgrimage to Compostella in Spain to 
the Church of St James (or Jack)
I expect all you regular church goers knew that anyway. Me, I am more 
interested in Coquille St Jacques.
