twitchynik Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) One thought is after Charles James Fox. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_James_Fox Edited July 5, 2011 by twitchynik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchieboy Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 I guess it's a similar question to why do many people know a badgre as Billy. Anyone got any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njc110381 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 I thought badgers were Brock ? Goats are Billy. Brock, Bertie or black and whites where I'm from. Never heard Billy, but then it varies from area to area I'm sure? I once had a farmer ask if I would shoot the black and whites - all I could think of to say was that I thought his herd of Friesian's looked ok, but whatever he wanted was fine with me! He never asked again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardo Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 i was under the impression it's because of Charles Fox the British politician in the 1700's who supported independence for the colonies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
