It's a pity there is such a tight schedule (why does this always happen?), but you should definitely get hold of this CD-Rom Jessica. Patrick - you should email her direct with this information in cas ... | |

On the radio this morning, the Today programme, John Humphreys said he didn't know how big the Atlantic was. Have just read that it's 33 million square miles. Wonder if that's correct? | |

Well, don't stop there, Peter. This is obviously a little-known event that deserves a wider audience. And when you say 'wartime', what war exactly? | |

This is a fascinating topic, and many cannons at the end of the war were certainly used as bollards, and no doubt many captured ones were used as such as well. I have come across a reference to French ... | |
