"COCK AND BULL STORY"


Has anyone ever told you a story that was hard to belive? Well i have and they are told more and more every day. It's hard to belive that anybody and everybody tells a cock and bull story at least once in there life time.The meaing of the word come from Buckinghamshire, England back in the 18th and 19th century when there was two hotels known as "The Famous Cock hotel" and "The Innfamous Bull Hotel".The hotels were always competing for the travliers that were coming in and out of the town. So that is how the Idiom "COCK AND BULL STORY" arose.
