    I was looking through a whole load of books and pamphlets in a second hand book shop and i came across a booklet on a what's known as a Queen Elizabeth Grammar School ...or as QEGS as it headed . there is quite a handful of these old schools dotted around the UK .
    However ..this particular QEGS school was near Wakefield and whilst browsing through it came across a cricket team dating 1875 .
    The guys were all numbered, and at the side of the picture was a write up as to what happened to them in there life .
    This particular bloke called Mr B Glover was a Mungo manufacturer in Osset .
    I thought what the hell is a Mungo manufacturer , looked up on google and it turns out that Mungo and shoddy are basically the same thing or shodders . They were old recycled rag manufactures .

    Also a Mungo is a prehistoric man found in Australia.

    You only have to look at Ray Dorset ...Mungo Jerry and he fits both bills .

    Named after where the remains were discovered, Lake Mungo.
    The Australian Museum recently returned the remains of Mungo Man and Mungo Woman to the Aboriginal people of that area for reburial.
