Literature | Duresley You are a man of Duresley, i.e. a great liar and cheat. Duresley is a market-town in Gloucestershire, famous for its broadcloth manufactory. Now called Dursley. (See Fuller: Worthies.) The word "cabbage," connected with tailors, seems to confirm the notion that our forefathers had no very high opinion of their honesty. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |
