Thread Name: How to commemorate Trafalgar bicentenary
Subject: RE: How to commemorate Trafalgar bicentenary
A quick Google reveals some ideas already in progress. I see that nice Mr Blair (a Briton, but not an Englishman!) has decided we should play it down a bit so as not to upset the French.
(The Scots were always a bit Francophilic, weren't they? I've always believed that God gave us the French because otherwise we'd have to make fun of the Germans or the Belgians, and where's the fun in that? Salut les crapauds! Voici les rosbifs!)
Steve PS It means Hiya Froggies, here come the Brits, to save you asking.
