In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes. When you pulled on the ropes, the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. That's where the phrase "Goodnight, sleep tight" comes from |

I have just discovered I DO like chocolate. And I have also just discovered I feel a bit sick :-( I wonder if there may be a connection? |

The reason firehouses have circular stairways is from the past when the engines were pulled by horses. The horses were stabled on the ground floor and figured out how to walk up straight staircases. |
