"Charley's Dead"

Does anyone have any idea what the origin of this is? It means 'your underskirt is showing".

Up sticks

What is the derivation of the term 'up sticks', with the meaning 'to move from one settled location to another' - does it have anything to do with the Battle of Agincourt?

At Loggerheads

What is the derivation of the idiom 'at loggerheads'? There is a village in Staffordshire called Loggerheads near which there was a battle during the Wars of the Roses - is there any connection?
