Should probably be "Alison's restraints for Dalip to keep him from David SW!!"

Interesting fact I learnt about these "Shackles".
We probably all know that these were used to restrain convicts for humiliation and punishment.Some of which was to lock a person in them and the local people would throw rotten food etc whilst in them..
What I didn't know is. To keep the victim from turning their head away from the incoming projectiles, the official would also nail the victims ears to the backboard so as to restrict the movement of the head......



Alison has just got the hammer out now...thanks Rob: there go my ears
