Good evening to you Moosie..

Once you've smelled one fish you've smelled 'em all.

On another note I see that the educational system on your side of the pond teaches history with the same rigor as its American counterpart...

With the 200th anniversary of the famous Battle of Waterloo just two months away a survey in Britain has revealed that most of the public know little about it and some even think it's just an Abba song, while many thought the French actually won.

Good Day to you, NoC.
That story is truly shocking.(Shocked)
Wellington used to be on the back of the Five Pound note, replaced by Elizabeth Fry in 2002.

The Richard Sharp Stories are on the Telly often enough, so there really is little real excuse for this...
