    Shakespeare wrote them into one of his plays, and they became a 1950's musical show. What are they?

    Spot on cologne. I expected the answer to come from a person of a certain age and a gardener. I watched it at the Palace Theatre in Watford with Jimmy Perry in the cast. A typical piece of English whimsy.

    On the right track Yorkie. The article from the museum in Stockholm is the oldest of its kind, dating from 1580.
