The longbowmen were Welsh, not English.

My younger sister tells me it's best with loads of lemonade and a vodka in it.

Its nicer still with a layer of baileys on top, and grenadine poured thru it to look bloody. Its called a brain hemmhorage, and its dam' nice.

or is it hemmorhage?

It is with a stab-in-the-face chaser.

Yes, it is a very good entry, as are all todays selection, an excellent mix. This was, for me, informative, entertaining and a nice touch of gore to spice things up. Our English/Welsh ancestors were obviously not, then, the educated, sophisticated, sober and well-dressed travellers that they are today.

And yet - at soccer games in Belgium, for instance, there seems to be a touch of the olde spirit...

Or perhaps hemorrhage?
