People from Jersey are known as "beans"...
...why?

I want only immature, funny or correct answers. Hopefully correct because I don't know, no-one on this rock seems to know, and it's pissing me off.

Bean crock (les pais au fou) can best be described as a sort of Norman cassoulet. It is a slow-cooked pork and bean stew, most authentically containing a pig's trotter. In the past the dish was so ubiquitous that English-speaking visitors, purporting to believe that the people of Jersey ate nothing else, dubbed the inhabitants Jersey beans (this epithet is sometimes considered derogatory, but a Jersey primary school French coursebook Salut Jersey featured two beans Haricot and Mangetout).

Mick, take a weekend or a few days off and come home - your banter has gone and it will temporarily cure your boredom!

Re: People from Jersey are known as "beans"...
You can really tell I'm that bored?

What's also strange, and explained by Les, is people from the West Coast often call say "my crock" when asking someone a question: "How are you, me ol' crock?"

I like knowing these things.

Why they called Toads as well then?
