Wednesday's Hadleigh Breakfast Briefing
By Amber Markwell
2nd Mar 2022 | Local News
Wednesday's wonderful fact
Did you know that instead of saying "cheese" before taking a picture, Victorians said "prunes"?
We say "cheese" because the word leaves us with a big smile on our faces, but if Victorian-era folk were to see our gleeful expressions, they'd scoff.
Once upon a time, smiling in photos was considered undignified and reserved for the poor and the drunk. To retain a more serious look in their photos, they would say "prunes," a word so dull, the chances of it inciting a smile were slim to none.
