The story is also told of apprenticeship contracts in the Thames valley a=

couple of centuries ago. At the time I first heard it, the quote was usually meant to illustrate the contrast with the polluted state of the Thames then (if you fell in, you were rushed to hospital for a stomach pu= mp
in case you'd swallowed any of the water). Since those days the river ha= s
been cleaned up and salmon have been re-introduced to the river.
