    Don't be modest. We had already hated you for several centuries prior to Cromwell.

    Indeed, but he realised that keeping his former name would have created friction.

    That may have done, but one has to admit that the name "Prince Albert" has a nice ring to it, a certain piercing quality.

    Taking a quick glans through this post and this tickled my fancy. Cheers for the heads up.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    St.Patrick started it all, always a Welshy causing ructions.
