Could I claim on a loan I took out on a Corgi car I bought?

Was it a James Bond Aston Martin, immaculate, still in box, immaculate, including Odd Job and the secret plans?

Nope!

Nope!

You have a claim.

Were you advised to walk 500 miles?

Were you then advised to walk 500 more?

If so you could be owed compensation. Call the Pro Claimers now.

I.e. money for old rope.

Do you know where that saying comes from?

Do you know where that saying comes from?

`from work houses where they would untwist the strands of the old rope from ships to sell for new ropes to be made from the fibres

Aren’t these kind of claims ones where a ring fenced pool of compensation has ready been created, so it’s just a straightforward case of proving eligibility I.e. money for old rope.

Yes. And unfortunately the claims companies sell a CFA as a way to take excess fees.

Google AI will probably tell you but at a guess I eould say there’s a maritime connection

As Highway Man said, a maritime connection. Oakum picking was done in workhouses, and also in prisons. The fibres were mixed with tar and used by shipbuilders as waterproof caulking. Or made into matting or bandages.

I believe that sometimes the sailors would take lengths of rope and sell them to people ashore. Rope which had reached the end of its useful life on a ship was still perfectly good for lighter duties like tying up animals.

There’s a brilliant book - factual - called London Labour London poor which focuses on the costermongers and other trades in London in the mid 19th century. The writer interviews them and it is if you are there talking to them. One thing I picked up was that the term breeze block came from the French word brieze which means ash. The original breeze blocks were cinder blocks made from the recycled ash collected from coal burning town houses.

They used to cut your hands to ribbons too. Horrible things.

Nice sparks sometimes when drilling them.

And the dust from chasing them was a delight.
