In the Swordfish - calling Joe a tuss would certainly provoke him into buying you a pint. |
RT @cernyw: an old Newlyn custom, say, "yew tuss" to anyone in the Swordfish Inn, they have to buy you a drink. fri nights onlyOf course, anyone with a smattering of local knowledge (which leads us to believe that the perpetrators behind #Kernowliesfortourists must be from round these parts) knows that even hinting that someone was a tuss in the Swordfish or other local hostelry is likely to invoke an immediate and less than gentlemanly response. Reminds me of that letter in the `Fishing News' letters page a few years back entitled, "Abducted by Aliens".
