Hi Warren and Ian, and all ...
I liked your comments on the History Channel, and take note as well
all the sources they use to make it thee best. Yes to it being
covered in depth and detail, never done so well before.
I read Sir Winston's Churchill's book ...
" History of the English Speaking Peoples" ., As well got the well
illustrated magzine series of the same title, years ago and it
I think encouraged shows like BBC "Time Travellers" and their
investigations all over Great Britain .... as Well I enjoy PBS
that is also excellent. And the canadian TVO for doing the same
thing.
The English throne, is the bloodiest throne, and after TVO,PBS
and BBC via the History Channel have their presentations aired
I can see why.

Exactly. There is so much shifting, back here, over there, and
then there is this melting pot, and where recorded history starts.

Their language also is as interesting, as their nationalism.

I have never found anywhere, where they have really said there was
an Arthur. There is a Roundtable hanging in UK, but not the orginal
if there ever was, but the idea was born from the myth.

Thanks Warren. I know some will say, this has nothing to do with
rights, but what it does do, is give insight, via history, as to how
rights and laws come to us. King Alfred is an example.
Perhaps, we should have a HISTORY @WW to carry on ?
