That's really interesting thanks. We always used to get "one for his Nob" when counting the Jack. It always raised a smile, not sure one for his Nibs would do the same.

What a lovely piece of writing you have crafted. I just love it when we ask old words, pass times and traditions to turn out their pockets and tell us their stories.

Dear Boundless Play, I just wanted to share some of my work with you. You can read some at www.platform13.life - would love to see how we might open a chat together. It was my sister Petra Merne that gave me your blog details. I think you two were in touch by email..? Anyway drop me a line if you like. Best regards, John.
