Solitaire Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I was woken by the church bells at 8am and initially thought perhaps the Queen had died took me a few minutes to remember it's St. George's Day. Thought I'd catch my son out and asked him if he knew why they were tolling and he surprised me by knowing what day it was (not so many people seem to these days) though I have a sneaking suspicion his smart phone alarm might have told him so Love the sound of the bells so has got me off to a happy start this morning.

erranta Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 http://en.wikipedia....m_the_Conqueror [/erranta off] I usually try to back up any Wiki info with a couple of other sources - half of it is crap. Romans moved a tribe of over 6,000 celts from the sarf Wales, Herefordshire, Somerset region and shipped them over to Brittany. (Hence the continual fierce struggle for autonomy from rest of France due to heritage and they ain't Frenchie Gauls) nearly 1,000 yrs later the ex-pats reinvaded with Willy (A viking by ancestry- cos all Normans were settled Vikings) - cos they made up a third of his storm-troopers.
