thing

A thing (that is, "assembly" or folkmoot) was a governing assembly in early Germanic society, made up of the free people of the community presided over by a lawspeaker. Things took place at regular intervals, usually at prominent places that were accessible by travel. They provided legislative functions, as well as being social events and opportunities for trade. In modern usage, the meaning of this word in English and other languages has shifted to mean not just an assemblage of some sort but simply any sort of thing.

    The good thing about rated people.

    An install has just come up but I don't fancy paying £30+vat for it. Rated people are nice enough to put a little map showing roughly where it is so might take a little walk with my leaflets on Monday when I get chance.
