Seen this episode before when it was on BBC. Its very interesting though, especially the historical stuff with Ruth Goodman.
Worth a watch if you haven't seen it..... although it does mean putting up with Gregg Wallace, who laughs maniacally at everything and constantly repeats whatever the workers say to him.

Google reckons that 'cyle' is an alternative form of 'sile' which is a pillar. So a bicyle would presumably be some sort of double pillar set up.
Glad I could help.

And there’s a factory making those, is there? Sounds like a solid post-Brexit manufacturing opportunity

Oi! There's a 'Vocabulary' thread just up the road y'know. 😉
I shall resist the temptation to amend the title thread, and simply accept the uncalled for mocking. No, wait. Yep, it was called for.
