@AllThingsRug@Athletic_en 4000 children landed at Southampton but were dispersed to “colonies” across the country. My mum was one and lived at the Cambridge colony set up for children who had lost a parent in the War.
Today is the 84th anniversary of the bombing of Gernika. A war crime that led to Picasso’s masterpiece and my mum being part of the largest ever single evacuation of children from a war zone to the UK.
Posh bloke, golf club type, has taken over the local. Promised all sorts, getting prices down and some decent local ales on. A month in and prices are up, it takes ages to be served as the Polish lass has been let go and he’s serving up rubbish like this.
@luke_bwfc 1877, the Christ Church players left and set up their own club. It wasn’t them moving grounds and changing name.
I would like it to be 1874 as that would makes us Lancashire’s oldest Football League club but it isn’t.
