@AliJaneMoore @mancunianmedic @London_Coomber @HSJnews Don’t forget that the welsh contract and pay scales are very different to the English ones, so the impact will land differently

@ZwhiteHistory @NapWarsPod @LandOfHistory agreed, but I don’t think he deserves the full blame for that he had less than 6 weeks to prepare to March across Spain

Even Wellington’s supply lines struggled to cope beyond Salamanca, until Santander was captured, and he had a well oiled commiserat & logistics set up

Its Maj Gen William Riddall!
William the Hero had an exciting Napoleonic war serving with the 62nd Wilts. They took part in Commando raids along the Italian coast and battled French Privateers whilst sailing in Gunboats.

His obit below hints at much more.

Some initial findings on Napoleonic promotions:

This map indicates the likelihood of promotion to NCO rank for men from each department in Napoleonic France.

Coming from the north-east was clearly something of an advantage. 1/

@SJCowell @rachelgemma90 It’s only what the BMA calls junior doctors no one else such as the NHS, the contract, trusts or any other royal college has agreed to that title

It was a representative sample of the electorate. That’s democracy, snowflake.

What’s your definition of a win/loss because both of those were strategic wins for him, Corunna he chased Moore to the sea,at Albuera drew & ended the siege of Badajoz

@thepaulwilliams A brilliant short term coach but is he someone to build a dynasty around?

[Rowan Gossedge @RowanLGossedge]

@sh_abbers We went from raging toddler screaming for most of the night due to the heat to sleeping through since we bought them

[Rowan Gossedge @RowanLGossedge]

@sh_abbers I cannot recommend more aircon units for the child/toddler bedtime.

Such a massive difference worth every penny even if it’s only a few days/months of the year.

Especially if you do nights & need to sleep on a hot day.

[Rowan Gossedge @RowanLGossedge]

@jprgooch Aircon in the bedroom, is the Best thing I ever invested in, even if it’s only used two weeks a year
