and with alot of drivel you post you have proven that you believe anything and probably play alot of football manager games
It's the summer holidays isn't it? I probably looked up the word myself at some point outside of school. Comedy: it's a lovely word isn't it? Bedlam. Another lovely word.
Early sixteenth century maps show Bedlam, next to Bishopsgate, as a courtyard with a few stone buildings, a church and a garden. Conditions were consistently dreadful, and the care amounted to little more than restraint. There were 31 patients and the noise was "so hideous, so great; that they are more able to drive a man that hath his wits rather out of them." Violent or dangerous patients were manacled and chained to the floor or wall. Some were allowed to leave, and licensed to beg. It was a Royal hospital, but controlled by the City of London after 1557, and managed by the Governors of Bridewell. Day to day management was in the hands of a Keeper, who received payment for each patient from their parish, livery company, or relatives. In 1598 an inspection showed neglect; the "Great Vault" (cesspit) badly needed emptying, and the kitchen drains needed replacing. There were 20 patients there, one of whom had been there over 25 years. Sounds like this board! I expect City to finish above Leicester again this year. NP is a good manager but I think SB will just edge us up a little further.
