No, there is no such 'every reason'. I'd like to hear some good reason to suggest it wasn't made up. No takers? Oh dear..................

No. Slithery little things. Baby eels - used to be a seasonal delicacy. Now beyond expensive.

There really aren't. Did it really happen? More than likely, given his....err....lifestyle. Balance of probability applies. I've been to the room where it happened too (again allegedly, but convincingly). You can no more disprove it than you can disprove that the landings on the moon were real...

September 1327, Berkeley Castle, Gloucestershire (well worth a visit). His remains are in Gloucester Cathedral. (and there's not very much 'allegedly' about it)

No they shouldn't - it didn't happen. The red hot poker was inserted into a different person altogether.

It is hard evidence. What it is not is a representative survey, which I never said it was. You are confusing the two. You may consider sarcasm to be your forte, but that is one of the stupidest things I've seen on here for a long time! :facepalm: Teachers and education experts can say what...

What a daft question. Why would anyone keep a record of the number of people in quizzes who don't answer history questions correctly? It's just observation. There are, for instance, more over-weight people wandering around than there used to be, but I haven't counted them! Late 80s through to...

With all respect, some parents help their children with their homework! And knowing what history your children know isn't just based on the 'What did you learn at school today?' interrogation. And if you want further evidence, go quizzing and see how many people struggle with even basic history...

I'm glad to know that History teaching has improved since my children went through school then (although there's precious little in your curriculum about Kings and Queens, or great historical events like the War of the Roses or the English Civil War). It will be a long time though - whole...

Not a chance. ............and I also maintain it's a good idea for people whose knowledge of our history is minimal to "watch it and actually get a rough grasp of British history, in easy bites" (as I said in my original post).

Sorry - didn't quite catch your agenda there. As for men in men's roles, I think you'll find that generally speaking kings were men. Just semantics I know, but ................

It was actually surprisingly good. A lot of youngsters, who are taught at school that history is just World War 1 and Britain's wicked involvement in the slave trade, should watch it and actually get a rough grasp of British history, in easy bites.
