Ooops! Eric, will you speak to me again? - my maiden name, although fairly common, is actually French (mediaeval or norman, pertaining to chaplains of chateaux - Larousse dictionary of French surnames). This is all tied in with the Irish side of me too! I hope there's enough of the Anglo-Saxon (Nottingham area, so it's possible) on my mother's side to redeem me!

Anyway, if Harold hadn't had to shed some blood up at Stamford Bridge first and wear himself out, he probably wouldn't have been shot "on 'is 'orse, with 'is 'awk in 'is 'and!"

I still think the Holmfirth Anthem is a good'un, although I must admit, the Cadgwith Anthem is a good sing too. Couldn't we somehow combine them: "To the streams in yonder mountains where the pratty flowers grow"?
