In the seventeenth century, shipbuilders working in the Royal Navy Dockyards were permitted to take home pieces of timber known as “chips”. The men would heave the timber onto their shoulders, and be on their way.  

As with many perks, however, this one came to be abused, as large, fit fellows were leaving with
