[Nice little place on a sunny day, although from Leeds at my sedate pace it's rather more than a pootle. I hope Dan Snow pointed out its importance for us northern folk - if Harold hadn't had to march his knackered army straight back down to Sussex, they might not have lost to William of Normandy and his mercenaries.]I had always assumed the Battle of Stamford Bridge was in the region of London, until Dan Snow told me otherwise this morning on UK History channel. Yorkshire, apparently.
I assumed (until quite recently ) that blood went from my heart, down my left arm, then back up and down my right arm. I hadn't given it a lot of thought, but it fitted all the known facts i.e. I knew how central heating was laid out and when I was running my left hand got warm long before my right.
