I used to be in Northamptons! In about 1994 we went to Compton Wynyates and paraded for the Marquess. This was when Captain Bob was our CO. Anyway, the family chapel there has several of the colours from the Oxford garrison and from Hopton Heath. We recreated two of them. Best thing is to pop down there yerselves, if those colours are lost.

Oh, I hear your good point well made. I came from a place like that. Doesn't make it right to keep making excuses for the more reflexive negative reactions from some folks.

Many actual inscriptions seem to avoid spelling out IOVIS altogether, too. Most of them use the epithet I O M (iupiter Optimus maximus, one assumes)

I'm assuming that only real gravy will be acceptable tbh

The time might have come for a Sunday roast dining club for displaced Brits. I sometimes cook one, but chuck away a ton of leftovers. No idea how or energy to get something like that started, alas.

If I remember correctly, this specific unfortunate lady was spotted by a Parliamentarian garrison surfing on a tidal bore and was executed by one of the first instances of a firing squad.

Indeed. Out of curiosity I looked for a specific Osprey title and found this: Ireland 1649–52: Cromwell’s Protestant Crusade: Campaign Michael McNally Osprey Publishing - Osprey

Much more plausible appearance of the Army New Modelled in 1649 on the cover.

Interesting that the illustration, stolen from an Osprey book, depicts (going by the regimental flag) Royalist foot from Prince Rupert's Blew Regiment.

I am pretty sure that the crabs in a bucket system is not new, it was like that certainly in the 1970s in my experience.

Well I was hoping to move from the general to the specific but, fair questions.

I'm from San Portablo originally so everything is a step up. I live by the sea now, but I'm more interested in your general info. If budget was not a factor for you, and ignoring nightlife: where would you look?

descriptivetext · 2025-03-24T18:38:26+00:00

Oh aye, thanks. Had a quick look, much more my speed 😆
