I know Effralyo has been calling Beaurgegard Gardy, and I thought it was a cute nickname. :smile:
However, today in British Studies I was informed that people in the eighteenth century commonly used the cry "Gardyloo!"
Why?
It was a warning to people in the street as they emptied their chamber pots or dirty water out of the window.
:big_grin:

Gardyloo!:eek:
