Listers,
I got this from my "Word of the day" service and thought it might be
of interest
to some on the list.
It's all starting to make more sense...those prisoners started out
making
license plates, it got out of control, and they ended up making
Triumphs.
Their clever revenge was a life sentence for the rest of us.

"Word of the Day"
Coventry (KUV-uhn-tree) noun

prisoners
there during the English Civil War).]
"Chris Ash, tribunal chairman, said the panel was not satisfied
that Mrs.
Edghill, of Sevenoaks, Kent, was ostracized or `sent to Coventry
by other
dealers'."
