You might as well be hung for a fheep as lamb.

(The f is the old way for saying a s).

many thanks to you both. I think the F must be a S as I haven't got as close as this.

Cheers.

sometimes an s used to be stretched out in print so it looked a bit like an f but it was never actually spoken that way. I think it's more likely a typo.
