I'm hoping to get a go there next year (07) as I thing QOC are going down there. Might go back to Autotechnic and get all the fuel economy (hahahah!) tweaks undone.

That's the one

Bubonic Plague

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_around_the_rosey

The flowers were used to try & purify the air around an infected person, as it was believed that the smell was part of the problem

Which has parrallels with the Typhoid/Cholera epidemics of the mid-1800's that led to Joseph Bazalgette designing the London sewerage system
(& also saw Doctor John Snow founding the science of Epidemiology)
