Ashes Ashes? I thought it was Atichoo Atichoo? eek


Atchoo was the modern way it began 2 be sung - the original version from back then was: 'ahes ahes' due 2 the rumour of the Great fire being no accident, and merely an easy (albeit drastic) measure by the government 2 halt the onslaught of the plague

*glad-my-history-lessons-paid-off-edit* lol


I always thought the 'ashes ashes' part refered to how peoples' skin would get all ashen and pale before they actually died from the plague sad
