    The Normans and er.... Guernsey in 1940?

    Just found a Daily Heil article that suggests 73 invasions since 1066!!
    Quite true Dave... I'm not sure how many of those invasions utilised the Channel Tunnel though...!

    Perhaps the Germans were going to tunnel from Guernsey?

    We didn’t do very well in 1066.

    It's not about winning or losing its how you improve for the future.

    Depends who 'we' are. I don't do genealogy, but I'm guessing I'm a bit anglo-saxon/norman/celt/roman/pict/beaker.... A general Heinz 57

    Yes true of most of us probably and maybe a bit of Viking thrown in too. But I was thinking of the English inhabitants at the time the Anglo-Saxons.

    On the subject of tunnels, I did like the piece in the 50 fellrunner mag by Superstar Fishwick on tunnels in the great escape.

    Made me think of people on the forum when he mentioned some have a shower before work and others have a shower after work.

    The photos was excellent with Nellie.

    I thought we did OK at Stamford Bridge. "We" won that one. I say "we" losely of course because even us lily white northerners probably have genes from all over Europe in us.

    It was a tough task for Harold to march up to Yorkshire to beat up the Vikings and then get suckered by the Normans and have to march all the way back down.

    Fixture congestion. It's been the downfall of many a good team.
