"On the wagon"
When we were on one of our trips to the UK we decided to do the turist
double deck bus tour through London...
Near Hyde Park (Paul -correct me if I'm a bit off) there was a famous tree
(apparently just suited for hanging). I think it was called the hanging -
tree. In any event a convicted person would be taken to the gallows from
prison on a simple cart pulled by some horses. On the way to the gallows
the poor soul was allowed a "stiff-one" from the local corner pub that was
on the route.
Hence, last drink...."on the wagon".
