Florence Nightingale although historically credited has the lady with the lamp, this is factually incorrect.
The true story is that when she was a small child circa 11 or 12 she had an horrific cycling accident, she spent over 2 weeks in hospital (which could account for her future vocation). Anyway the accident left her with a pronounced limp, the doctors spent many days trying to fix the issue all to no avail. So she was issued with the finest caliper boot available at the time, thing is the caliper makers at that time were going through a renaissance and were experimenting with differing materials. Florry was given a prototype luminous caliper. She loved it to bits & often took moonlit walks down the Crimera Way & could be seen for miles as her caliper gave off an effervescent glow.
The locals would come to name her as she grew older as the lady with the limp but folk from outside mistook their Crimerian accents has the lady with the lamp.
S'pose it was an easy mistake to make. It's not the only historical f**k up but I'll let others relate the other true facts.
