Down the road..
Saturday 5 July

Vocabulary

The expression «Down the road» began to be used about the middle of the 19th century when driving a coach and four was becoming increasingly popular among wealthy young men. Some of the older men thought that the style of turnout seen at meets of the Coaching Club was not in keeping with the true coaching tradition. They believed that driving a coach over any kinds of road for long distances with different team of horses like the old public stage coaches was the true coaching tradition , or , as they piut it, truly "down the road" . These were enthusiasts who strated «road coaching» during the 1860’s
