During the French Revolution when the slaughterhouses sent the their hides to the tanneries without cleaning them, leaving on the tails. A French noble asked for a tail, which was willingly given to him, and he created the first oxtail soup.
Soon, the tanners began charging for the tails because of the constant demand that had been created for them. The dish was supposedly introduced to England by French refugees

Is John Cooper Clarke the "Chicken Town" street poet bloke? I love his stuff.
He is - for obvious reasons I won't post the poem... but you can <banned word> read it here.. http://www.lyricszoo.com/john-cooper-clarke/evidently-chickentown/edit - I see you already found it. as an aside, I shall be working the pit at the front of stage when John Cooper Clarke performs at a very family friendly festival in two weekends time. I doubt he'll be doing Evidently Chicken Town that day |

I volunteer as a Steward at a few festivals each year - mostly via Oxfam who raise a sbstantial amount of money in this way. I get a free festival in return for working three shifts over the 4 or 5 days I'm there. |
