Definely not, they couldn’t get up the river, too many waterfalls, and we also had Hereward the Wake to protect us peasants.

He did Dave, but he got the pip, when William the Orange came in to reign. Myself Dave I’ve got in everywhere I have travelled, and was welcomed back whenever I went back.

That’s one in the eye for King Harry er’ Harold, and I’ll have you know
the last time I had a blood transfusion the nurse assured me that the
stuff I was getting came from Royalty, I think she was telling porkies
though because not one person has doffed their cap since they put it
in, bloody NHS knew I should have gone private.

The NHS needs dismantling Harry and started again from scratch,it’s top heavy with admin and managers.Not enough hands on nurses anymore.If Aneurin Bevan came back and saw the state of it,he would top himself. 
Soapbox parked.
Cheers Dave.
Dave tell Harry he has to look like a king, as well as feel like a king. And don’t forget, “Once a King always a King. Once a knight enough!”

Perhaps a remake of king kong could be made using the Northampton Lighthouse 
hiya,
Dave only going up the lighthouse if there’s a lift my climbing days are long gone,
and if our Norm is waiting with a big bunch on bananas and then he can return to
Terra Firma and leave me with the georgeous bird who is always up there with the
monkey and hoping the lift is out of commission, well they usually are, I would get
down eventually, knackered.
thanks harry, long retired.

They have probably got a spare block and tackle outfit to lift you up onto the lighthouse with Harry.After you had finished your task,you could always abseil down.

No Dave that would be a little ropey for poor old Harry, better leave the beautiful girl out of it, we don.t want to kill Harry off, even if he said he wanted to go out like that. we want him on here a few more years.

Keep going until you are a 100 Harry and be tthe same as George Burns who had the same wish.

hiya,
Dave I look in the mirror all I see is a rough looking “old git”, if I had
to reach a ton I wouldn’t dare look in the mirror, I’ll settle for doing
it “My Way” 90s going to be plenty, and I’ll have to be bleeding lucky.
thanks harry, long retired.
Hi Harry,
Keep breathing and waking up in the morning.As for the mirror don’t bother about that.Keep looking at the birds.
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
Dave don’t often look at Facebook but occasionally place a comment if
there is something placed by a family member which catches my eye
for instance my eldest grandaughter posted a pic of herself with a few
of her pals on a night out, I put a comment to it which went something
like, " some canny talent there kiddo, wish I was a million years younger",
her reply was,“Grandad what are you like” to which I replied, "I’m 76 not
dead, when I stop looking please nail the coffin lid down.
