Re: ITS A GREAT DEAL !
I likes my history, TBT.
Somehow, having studied the events of the summer of 1381, I cannot ever imagine that two of the rebellion's leaders, Wat Tyler and Fr.John Ball, were ever forelock-tugging peasants, sure they were ordinary men who were looked down upon by the idiots that made up the landed gentry in those days, but they were men who had immense pride in themselves, and were able to instill some of their self-belief in thousands of peasants.
I'm sure that, as there are today, there were peasants who spurned the opportunity to walk with their heads held high, and continued with their servile forelock-tugging.
Human nature, eh?

There is a saying in Mayfair, "Worn ort never tug worn's forelock in front of the tradesmen," or is it more to do with picking noses, I forget!
