Just a little refresher on one of the most highly prized visual episodes.  The guys look good, the white shirt looks... really good.

Uses of cardies

Alternatively, he could throw the cardy down behind him and drape himself round one's shoulder. One could do with that precisely now as the snow approaches!

Now I come to think of it, I think it was the Earl of Cardigan that invented it. Yes, have just checked, the 7th Earl of Cardigan popularised it after the Crimean War. So blame the British (as usual).

The Earl of Cardigan... really? We have missed out on so much not having an aristocracy ;)

Indeed. You should also be grateful to the Earl of Sandwich for, guess what, the sandwich. The upper classes have their uses.

Oh yes, we all learn the Sandwich story in school. Interesting that we owe our favorite lunch item to a game of cards.
I wonder how we can weave trivia into an MFU story?

Well, a lot of MFU writers make poor Illya the fount of all wisdom or of all trivia, though I do think one should do this with caution to avoid making him sound like one of those frightful know-alls you meet a school sometimes (or in lots of other places as well). No doubt this is the reason some think Ducky is Illya in disguise.

I do so love trivia myself though, which is presumably why older children I teach can sometimes attempt to distract me from what we should be learning.
