It is commonly but incorrectly thought that Marie Antoinette said of starving peasants "Let them eat cake". In fact before she became Queen of France she stayed in a small village on the coast of Kent where, whilst tucking-into a heavily buttered scone, she was told there would be no butter left for the villagers, to which she replied "Let them eat marg"! Over the years the village became known by the anagram Margate. Not a lot of people know that!
