Uncle Tom Cobley and all

"Uncle Tom Cobley and all" est locutio Anglica quae enumerationem longam et fastidiosam concludit. E verbis cantilenae Widecombe Fair extrahitur, quae mercatum ad Widecumbam Devoniae annuatim celebratum commemorat. Cantilena e traditione populari descripta anno 1890 a Sabino Baring-Gould edita est. Enumeratio contubernalium in hac cantilena sic sonat:
... For I wants for to go to Widecombe Fair
With Bill Brewer, Jan Stewer, Peter Gurney, Peter Davy,
Dan'l Whiddon, Harry Hawke, Old Uncle Tom Cobley and all --
