Mad as a hatter comes from when hat makers worked with mercury. Ingesting it caused many to suffer mental health issues hence the term.

But I still don't know where the term As Dark as Noogles Knocker comes from...

I have not heard that, but have heard " Dark as Newgate's Knocker" which refers to the knocker on the door of Newgate Prison" and means both literally dark, but more often " sinister"

" whole 9 yards"

Which has loads of argument as to its origin;

From cloth, to ammunition belts, to sports connections.

No- one knows. ( there us a 19th century version " the whole 6 yards" )
