Subject: RE: How to commemorate Trafalgar bicentenary
I bow to your superior local knowledge. bernard Wrigley used to do that Sam Sam pick up thee musket monologue, in which Nelson had a walk on part - I think you're going to need a bit of light relief, lots of miserable songs about the navy - apart from the shanties I was thinking.
Indeed I think The Victory itself has a very oppressive atmosphere, I don't claim to be psychic or anything, but to me it seemed like the sort of place where people have had a very unhappy time. dunno if it strikes anybody else like that.
