Re: Scapa Flow: Sunken WW1 battleships up for sale

Thank you Lee, I remember a TV program covering this very subject a few years ago. I suppose that
we must assume there was no loss of life, with the ship being scuttled by the Germans. At least I hope
there was no loss.

Re: Scapa Flow: Sunken WW1 battleships up for sale

As interesting as they may be, I am one of those odd bods who thinks they should be left alone,
as a memorial. In the same way I think about the TITANIC, let it remain as a monument, in
the memory of those who lost their lives on that fateful night so long ago.

There was one at Walton on Naze, which could be seen from Dovercourt, which was several miles away, across the bay.

Re: Elephant Man: Joseph Merrick's grave found

As Jerry has said, so very sad. I remember seeing a program about him when I much younger, and it was not pleasant.

I do hope that his soul is now at rest, poor man.

Re: Belgian monks resurrect 220-year-old beer

For a non drinker that was a good read Lee, thank you. I decide over a year ago, on a WHIM, to stop drinking any alcohol,
and just stopped, having been a whiskey fan for many, many, years.
