We saw eleven in one place (in Alexandra Park).Eleven! That's something to do with Satan in the rhyme, I think.

Google suggests various versions."ten for the devil's very own sel," whatever sel means. "ten for a time of joyous bliss," and "ten for gold". The only one I see that goes up to eleven makes it "a secret that will never be told". Lame.

Intriguing.I wonder what to make of that.
Joyous bliss and secrets not to be told, eh?

"Sel" is poetic licenceaka sel' which is short (or Yorkshirese) for "self"
which still doesn't make a lot of sense, granted
yay for secretive joyous bliss though!

And there was me thinking it was French for 'salt'./Sarcastic sod.

Yeah right,like "ten for the devil's very own French word for salt" makes for a memorable rhyme.

There once was a b3tan called Ptolly.Who commited a crime of great folly.
He took the piss out of Caro,
And was dumped in a barrow,
And pushed infront of a big lorry.
There's a memorable rhyme for you! :P

...There once was a man from Tyersal[*]
Who named his tumble dryer Sal
It did a good job
Till it cut off his nob
So sadly he then had to fire Sal.
