@Bradninchfellow@Lord_Steerforth Agreed! It is only the personal assumption of whoever wrote that 'disclaimer' to suggest that the previously-accepted text & views were 'wrong, & always have been...' !
Who made the writer of this 'warning' the absolute arbiter of truth? ๐คทโโ๏ธ
You were told mathematics began with the Greeks or the Arabs. ๐ค
Three carved chalk drums from a Yorkshire grave might prove otherwise. ๐ฅ๐ฌ๐ง
In 1889 they were found buried with a five year old child. For 130 years nobody knew what they were for. โณ
Then in 2018 researchers measured them. The proportions appear to encode a standard unit of length. ๐
Wind a cord ten times around the smallest drum and you get the โlong footโ, about 32cm. The same unit researchers believe was used to lay out Stonehenge. ๐ชจ
A fourth drum later turned up over 200 miles south in Sussex. Same measurements. The chalk ones were likely replicas of working tools carved in wood. ๐ชต
Not in a kingโs grave. Not in a treasury. Buried with a small child, so the knowledge would be remembered. ๐ฏ๏ธ
British people were measuring the world before England had a name. ๐ฌ๐ง
Long before we had a name, this island was measuring the world.
Help us make sure that our history is never forgotten again. ๐๐

@HeatherJ2652 Yes. Meal-planning for the week so I know if I need to buy anything not already in the pantry/fridge/freezer;
Birthdays, appointments, which refuse bin to put out etc. L
@TheBritLad@DangerousThinkg Dear cousins, STOP KNEELING!!! Kneeling is an act of surrender, not strength. If you want to support Henry and all of the girls being assaulted then STAND UP!!!
@TheBritLad@Kimarielennon STAND FOR HENRY!
Donโt take the knee, donโt equate Henry with the criminal George Floyd.
This isnโt how you honor Henry on your knees.
STAND, Stand UP for Henry!
@Lord_Talbot64 I have no idea what goes on in their evil minds, or if we will live to see justice delivered, but one day they'll each breathe their last - & then, the reckoning!
@Keir_Starmer Today of all days you have the audacity to laud the bravery & conduct of a generation who stood up to a despot who terrorised Europe, whilst you & your government are intent on replicating that same tyranny against your own people. You should be ashamed of yourself, you traitor!
@SimonFoxWriter Police shields designed as 'defence' appuratus brutally utilised as 'offensive' weapons - & with gusto! Nothing less than officers losing their self-control in a demonstration of state-sponsored thuggery!
Each one should face disciplinary action, as should their senior officers!
@SimonFoxWriter Mornin'!
Just switched on X & your post was 2nd on my feed - preceded by:

Given the state of our nation, that's quite a prescient start to the day! Is it time for us to stand up & be counted! ๐ค๐ฎ
Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy. Proverbs 31:8-9
When the rest of the world seems intent on going to hell in a handbasket - a 'virtual visit' to @NiallHarbison & his dog rescue sanctuary is like balm for the soul! ๐ค
Walking in to see the dogs in the retirement village is literally the best feeling in the entire world.
They should all be dead by now but to see them here with dignity and comfortable in their surroundings is a thing of sheer beauty โค๏ธ
Policeman -"What d'you want me to do - pull him off a horse?"
Why is he allowed on a horse to chase people down the street in the first place?
Why are our designated 'upholders of the law' (aka the Police) just standing about - what are they afraid of?

When armband wearing Muslim Shariah patrols are riding through Manchester's streets on horseback while DEI indoctrinated police stand there watching, paralysed with fear and indecision, something has gone badly wrong.
A government that can tax, regulate and monitor every aspect of your life, yet is unable to enforce its authority on the streets, is exhibiting the hallmarks of a narco-tyranny.
The moment people lose faith that the law is applied equally to all, the stateโs legitimacy starts to erode.
Britain has arrived at that very dangerous place.

@Woodydryad@Vigibbis2@MaximusChud Also - why were the police using their 'defence' shields as 'offensive' weapons in what could only be described as 'state-sponsored thuggery'?
