No Shimms, it's true !

What's more he was well known for being a very generous man ...............did you know that he once offered his Kingdom for someone's horse ?

Well Mel, perhaps because they drunk gin under the table at court it assumed the 'nickname' Agincourt, that would make sense, what say you? :))

May I google, am intrigued ... Robin is indeed very knowledgeable and this is an area of history I know little about.

Hiya Shims ~~~~~~~~~ ar you sure ~ no Robin would never do that! ~ or would he woo can tell! lol

He seems to kno his stuff Shims if it were a battle why were they drinkin!

I suppose if he was a stay-at-home man in those days then maybe he would welcome a drink or two ~ now am totally confused a gin man? thought he woulda prefered mead or strongbow!

Hi Mel, Robin :))

This is tongue in cheek ...

Robin ... Arthur drinking the French under the table in a gin court? Play on words, Agincourt? Probably not, most likely me being dippy lol. xxx

Mel, a very interesting thread, luvin the way questions are asked, history is brought to life as tis discussed, debated and more. xxx

Don't worry Mel, I am well versed in English history and can fill in the blanks for you.

Arthur was a real man's man who won plenty of wars.

Did you know that he drank the French under the table in a gin court ?

Hello Robin, ~~~~~~~~ Arthur up a tree too! ~ oh my goodness there's so much history I just don't recall and what was wrong with these medieval Kings that they all stayed home and made cakes ~ who won the wars us women lol nothing changes there then!

Why were the pheasants revolting? ~ had they contracted some kind of medieval bird flu!

Oh dear so much hidden in archives of history ar teachers never got paid enough to crowd control and teach all the facts obviously! x

Well I reckon that it was Arthur who was up the tree because he had burnt someone's cakes.

And what's more ........................ I heard that he then went off to London to confront a load of revolting pheasants !

nite nite Mel, everyone

For me King Arthur, if he did exist, was such a wise man ... believing in equality, how I love the idea of his round table. O))

xxx Shimms xxx

Well Mel if it is of any help his statue hashim with his arm raised on high holding his sword and he has his shield!

Im still unsure bout Arthur think he was more a warrior than a king x

I wouldn't worry Chris x

How could I make a mistake like that - excuse am really tired, been shopping and gardening!

Not much of a King wuz he! I feel sorry for Ethelfreda x

the venison would have had to be hunted, killed and cured Mel! not enough time love. top and bottom of it was, he was beggered! )))))

spread shrimp paste {yuk!} once watched in horror as a young mum made sarnies out of a jar and used a whole loaf of bread ~ beside he was a king surely he had some mead and some venison runnin wild x

But how could he Mel???? burnt cake? Anglo Saxon Kings have their pride you know? )))) and there was nowt else in the pantry he could offer them, at the time. All he could do was sound battle orders.

Men eh? who'd have 'em? ))) had it been a woman she would have opened a tin of Spam and made a dozen rounds of sarnies!

Nah! He'd av bin better invitin the Saxons to tea n feedin em his cakes x

See Mel - I think he was probably trying out a Gary Rhodes recipe at the time of the invasion.

We all know just how critical the timing is on those receipes, and he just missed the important couple of minutes between delight and disaster!!!

Quelle domage!!! burnt cake....................nasty pong.............indication to the intruders of the vicinity of the enemy,......................and Bob's yer uncle! JD! Job's done!

Wat a waste of cakes ay ~ wasn't gordon Ramsey wuz he! 8~}

Well, Alfred's wife was no better really!

What the heck was he doing making cakes eh? that's a woman's job aint it?
