Many of us have long called for this to be a national holiday in the UK but these calls have been ignored, presumably because another reminder of how we beat the French and Spanish would upset some people. So, to hell with the PC brigade and I raise a glass to the memory of Lord Nelson! Rule Britannia! Turn up the volume!

Nice Deejay but most won't have a clue nor neither will they care if it ain't about them and their glorious achievements.

She said "who was that?" Pretty much spoke for the American system of education. Ahh well, I'll lift a pint later for you, always need a good excuse anyway.
