Hi Janey,
thanks for that, most intriguing but still very difficult to interpret.

I did wonder if the thinking behind throwing oranges and fish was to cause an unpleasant smelly mess while trying to cause minimal actual damage, altho surely oranges would be far more expensive and harder than say plums, so ??

If this was Ireland, or Irish people or Catholic churches, then think maybe the Orange Order, yet that seems very unlikely here ??.

Sorry but I'm really struggling with this one !
