An on-line article about Myddelton House Gardens in Enfield mentions a corner of the garden called the "Irishman's Shirt". The name comes from the tale of a cheeky Irishman said to have asked someone if they'd kindly sew a shirt to his button.

Reminded me of Compo asking Nora to sew a button on his shirt cuff and being required to put his hand and wrist through the letter slot in her door while she did the job.

Here's the URL for the full article, in case anyone's interested.

I watched that episode a couple of weeks ago. Such humour.
