No Pictures.

Fred Nerks can always find pictures...be patient.

BTW, the world's highest concentration of 'O' type blood is behind Offa's Dyke.

And archaeologists believe they may have finally found a missing 250-metre stretch of the Dyke built by King Offa between 757 to 796 AD to keep the English and the Welsh apart.

Thank the gods for this welcome news!!

I can't tell you how many nights I've lain awake wondering where those missing 250 meters of King Offa's dyke were.

“Offa’s Dyke”
I thought they were referring to a “Bull” Dyke!

Keep the Saxons and the British apart. Arthur was west of the barrier--British.
