lolololol great post, Josie
A "thing of no bowels" - so how did Shakespeare know about #DiaperDon?
Hung drawn and quartered? Personally I think we should bring back the stocks. A good session of mocking with rotten fruit being hurled would bring certain people down to earth.
On occasion, the stocks got a little more grim than public humiliation and the odd rotten apple. It was not an enlightened age when it came to crime and punishment. (And best not be female!)

Ahhh! Shakespeare! He has 'much a'say about everyting'!
He certainly did. And if there weren't the right words - he made them up - 1,700 or so of them. He would certainly know how to skewer a Doris or Bonald.

And all the men and women merely players;"
