I do, hahaha, mainly thanks to Mr Harris my teacher for two years at Arden Street School, who used to tell the class that more Italians were killed running away as he and the 8th Army marched across North Africa , than ever were killed fighting.
As far as the Normans / French,especially the French go ,those cowards gave up in every war the first day fighting broke out,ask Mr Harris if you don't beleive me and if the Normans hadn't played dirty by pretending to run away then turned on Harolds troops and cut them down we would never have had them ruling us, so I hate them both, lol,lol, don't go much on the Japanese either,all that raw fish, ugh lol.

& maybe that's the reason the Irish should hate the British too. That Mr Cromwell wasn't really such a nice guy

I should have said the Romans.
I surrender CM; the rules are obviously different for different people and the English are all horrible people who have no rights and should accept every insult and hate filled song and action with impunity!

Probably not really for this thread 1066 , but remember Mr Harris and his teaching topics/style well - I'd have real difficulty in explaining it to my son-in-law , who teaches the same age group nowadays , but I think it was common in Post-war Primary schools . But hey , we both survived it , sort of .

Like you, Elg, I like to play devil' s advocate but didn't the British invade & colonise Ireland and then forcefully keep the indigenous population in check.

Going back to the beginning of the thread all I wanted to was inject a bit of balance which I hope I've done

Glad you ,like me survived 75% of junior high schooling with with the Harris's, with no ill effects, first year Mrs Harris, third and fourth years Mr Harris .
Now about the plan I was discussing last night on the phone before I ran out of quarters, I swear with help from the Poles ,I think we could conquer Bordeaux ,think of all the wine we would end up with, bit of pillaging and home for Easter ??

I believe that this forms a substantial part of the UKIP Manifesto #AlsoOffTopic
