Inhaltsangabe

No one thinks it's an egg: Ian Taylor from Birmingham thinks it was a 300-year-old seige tower; Roy Palmer from Dymock maintains that this is a myth introduced in the 1950s and popularised in the opera "All the King's Men"; Robert Halliday from Bury St Edmunds is sure that it was a 17th-century ale punch, but S. Makepeace Brown of Llandyssol has the last word, insisting that it was not a man but a pregnant woman. They are all talking about the origins of Humpty Dumpty. So "Notes & Queries" brings together all sorts of people from all parts of the country to dispute all manner of questions.
