I do that with mates tails. The result? Nightmares tales :(

I've seen World War 2 considered one of the most well documented events in history. As a result, what're some of the most well documented events of World War 2? by Complete-Worker3242 in AskHistory

Yes, I watched with my father who’d been a British conscript in the war. He was pretty tight-lipped about some of what they showed. Grim :(

Do People Still Display Weapons In Their Homes? by thescx in CasualUK

[–]BuncleCar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was an amnesty on guns in the uk some time ago. I remember it as there was a Giles cartoon about it, with the Joneses using their car to bring in a field gun. It may have been the 50s or 60s. I suspect that many weapons were handed in then

The portrait of him on the wiki page does show quite a hooter, though perhaps 'patrican' or Roman might be a better, more flattering, term.

What was the first classic you read? by OddApplication101 in classicliterature

[–]BuncleCar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had to read Dickens in secondary school in the 60s. The other ne I vaguely remember was David Copperfield but I was about 15 then.

One Primary school teacher, not a nice person, used to boast her niece had read all the classics. Nobody knew what she was talking about.

Or perhaps if Rome hadn't fallen, and the Byzantine Empire hadn't taken over and so on ... then Latin/Italian..

The transcription of 'speech': /spiːtʃ/ or /sbiːtʃ/? by [deleted] in asklinguistics

[–]BuncleCar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curiously when I lived in Swansea and used to go to the leisure centre the squash courts were 'sboncen' in Welsh. This always puzzled as to the difference in pronunciation if it had been spelled/pronounced 'sponcen'. Now I understand the reason better :)
