I think it should stay in Bayeux.

If the Brits think they should have it then they should return to Greece the Elgin Marbles. Not bloody likely!

I thought the Brits already lost their Marbles.

(I’ll trade them six cat’s eyes!)

On a tour of the Athens Acropolis, I think I offended the guide. She was griping about the Elgin Marbles and how the Brits swiped ‘em. I said: “Gee. I wish they had gotten the Venus di Milo before she got her arms knocked off and the Victoire de Samothrace before she lost her arms and head!” She didn’t reply, but she gave me a nasty look.

Exactly right...the Elgin Marbles would have been destroyed or looted and sold on the black market had not England got them first...BTW, that wing of the British Museum where the Elgin Marbles are at is beautiful.
