Now, Now, Brother Jim, some corrections are definitely in order here.

The centre, ( please note the correct spelling)  is London at zero
meridian,  all measurements are taken from there.  They have a white line
marked on the banks of the Thames to prove it.

Now about Hastings, Battle thereof. fought in 1066, quite close to Dover,
the white cliffs kind of place.
Some French guy named Bill to his friends seemed to have come out on top

Magna Carta: the worlds first Bill of rights. Signed on the Isle of
Runnymede. A small dot in the middle of the Thames. Signed in1215. King
John one of the more despotic rulers was force to sign.

Potatoes. One of the old boys, from the town where I was raised, brought
this wonderful staple back from South America. Sir Walter Raliegh. Also
credited with the importation of tobaco. I believe in 1600.
Queen Lizzy the 1st.

Now for real football, called soccer by Americans, the worlds most popular
sport. Alas one thing that the US cannot control, and does not have enough
money to buy into. So they invented their own sport that has been rejected
world wide.
The rest of the world prefers sport with real men, with out body armour.
Please answer a question for me. Do they stop your game every 30secs,
because the attention span of the spectators is short, or the players get
too tired to continue? 
The World Football Association finals are televised globally with several
BILLON viewers watching.
In fairness American football is televised north of the border in Canada,
but I don't think it will replace hockey, or curling.

The devil made me do this.
Roger
