"If you please, Sir, Mother says, will

you let her have a quarter of a pound of your best tea to kill the rats with, and an ounce of

chocolate as would get rid of

the black beetles?"

(Punch, 14 August 1855)

So, A Great British Tradition?

As Arthur Hassall commented in 1855,

"It is curious to notice how constantly the adulterating

shopkeeper endeavours to shelter himself, and to

excuse his dishonest practices, under the assertion that

the public…

…..'LIKE IT' and 'WILL HAVE IT'."
