Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

For ITG:
"Consisting of a semi-circular, square or V-shaped enclosure on one side and a hinged gate that swings between two shutting posts, it allows one person at a time to pass through but keeps livestock out.
As for the title, the prosaic answer is that it derives from the fact that the hinged part touches – or ‘kisses’ – both sides of the enclosure rather than being securely latched like a normal gate.
That hasn’t stopped many clinging to a more romantic notion: that the first person to pass through would have to close the gate to the next person, providing an opportune moment to demand a kiss in return for entry.
Kissing gates are commonly found at the entrance to church graveyards but there is no evidence that this has any symbolic significance."

better explanation than I could, from historyextra.com

Thanks for posting that explanation Rosehip, better than I could explain it. I hadn’t thought that might be a British thing.

Just give someone a kiss by a gate if you don’t have them in Iceland!!!!

Haha, Elsie, I'll need to drag OH out for a kiss by a gate. I think they might exist here but not close by.
