‘Puzzle Gardens‘ were the labyrinth of narrow back alleyways that joined up several small cottages and terraced houses where there was no other access, and nothing to do with any kind of Garden at all!
‘Gone for a Burton‘ was a common phrase for sitting on the outside Toilet, reading the paper, and often smoking at the same time, often for quite some considerable time!
One theory was that the phrase originated from around the Burton Brewery’s, where drinking beer that was ‘off’ often resulted in needing the toilet for a good clear out of ones system of the offending ale, which could take quite some time!
