“Coming over here, supplying us with cannons. For us to shoot them with.”

Nice callback there.

Never knew this!

And the Tommy T RHLSTP is gloriously funny!

How embarrassing for me

I'm from Southampton, so please appreciate how difficult this is for me (and accept the compliment): you made me think Portsmouth may not be totally awful.

I visited Pompey myself a couple of weeks back, well Southsea actually. A trip to the D-Day museum, or as they call it now 'experience' and for the first time in my life, I said something I have never said before - 'one senior please'. This experience offer a senior discount at 60 and not the usual 65, so an extra couple of quid remained in my pocket, although a little disapointed they didn't ask me for a proof of age.
