Blimey! I've just come to this thread and must suggest full marks to Mr Walters for coming here. Also I was going to say he's the author of...
I don't think anyone expects any form of an apology from you sir. One of my grandfathers served in Burma, and you couldn't say the J word in...
I don't see why. Muslims using public facilities is fair enough, they're members of the public. It's those few wandering around with bombs that...
Owens was repeatedly interviewed about this and at no point mentioned either shaking Hitler's hand nor having a photograph of him doing so. He...
Not sure what you mean there. It's a great film and reflects the spirit of the times I think, and surprisingly undated given it was made in 1969.

You're most welcome. So having been there could you confirm there's a slope in that part? Yes it would be out of charactor if it were done by...
Had a quick look for maps and found this one and had a guestimate that the photo might have been taken where the red circle is, with the yellow...
Biggs was a minor player in the whole thing, and it was his continued avoidance of his sentence which gave him his celebrity status. Most of us...
Oh sure, and I appreciate the quiz, just Charlie the Bastard is my fave. It's the nickname for the Boys Anti-tank rifle, because it had such a...
I read in passing about the SAS having an improved version of the trusty jeep for use in Europe, wondered if anyone had a source for full details...
I thought, as an advert, it reminded me of the Sheps Spitfire adverts. Just in case you haven't seen any of those here's a few examples, some of...
What do folk think of this? Jeremy Clarkson has sparked complaints after joking about a German invasion of Poland on Sunday night’s series...
I'd suggest buying the eldest a suitable book about WW2 as a whole, and answer questions as they pop up. I think showing a child a holocaust movie...
I'd suggest asking this question at the other place.
