Foot-bag


Foot-bag is the act of wearing bags on your feet and seeing how far you can run before you fall. In 1822 this was first discovered when Queen Victoria got stuck in a garment bag and then realised it was awfully fun. The peasants used this as a way to earn money, as people would pay them shillings and a half pence to attempt it. However, due to the evolution of the well known "Football[1]", the players of Foot-bag has greatly decreased and is not well known.
