THIS is very interesting;

During my visit to the Cambridge, I was taken by my cousin to a strange old stud farm...which belonged to one Mr.Thomas Hobson.

Scribed on a large plaque at the stud farm, I read the following which I jotted down there and then to share with you all;

HOBSON'S CHOICE----A choice in which one has no alternative; one must take the thing offered or nothing. Thomas Hobson was an Englishman (1631) who let out horses in Cambridge; he had many horses, but every customer had to take the horse nearest the door.
