The clay pigeon was developed in the days of the Palatinate, to welcome southern guests, to this day special apparatus is used to greet any Chelsea or Arsenal supporters with clay pigeons as they walk down from the moor.I've eaten British food before so I know how boiled clay pigeon tastes............
Seriously, wish you the best of luck!

not all of my vignettes are true. Rochie and I live on the edge of the river Tees and there are many things that hark back to the the Palatinate, sadly pelting Arsenal Chelsea and West Ham supporters isnt in the archive. For a long time the de facto border between England and Scotland was the river Tees where we live . The area to the north, previously known as the kingdom of Northumbria was a militarised zone, now known as the Palatinate or land of the Prince Bishops. The Bishop of Durham's main job was to act as a buffer state and prevent invasion by the Scots. Part of this was to keep a standing army and another was to build fortifications. One fortification he built was a castle in what is now called Stockton, which actually means "castle town or fortified town". I was born on the site of the castle moat. it took no genius of historical research to know this, my home address was 32 Moat Street.

And when the Scots retreated, which happened without much sadness
as it was off to Oban they went to drown their sorrows.
There was usually a Davidson to welcome them!
And throw them out when they got out of hand!!

Don't I get credit for not spelling it "Lester"?
Leicester is full of Romans. They are ok but they cant look at a place without building an aqueduct theatre or other useless piece of architecture.
oh yes you do , just wondering if you had a link with Leicester

Someone please post that scene from "Life of Brian".
My grandmothers back garden was excavated in the 1930s, it was in the site of a Roman villa. No one knows why there was a villa there. There is a roman camp a few miles from where she later lived, it is actually two camps and was a great place to play for an 8 yr old, no one knows why it was there. There are many Roman roads in N Yorkshire which go from nowhere to nowhere, even when you know the destination frequently you dont know why it was a destination. My conclusion is that the Romans liked mead too much for their own good.
