Indeed SM, we remember all of out history good and bad and try to learn from it.

In 1938 we believed a piece of paper meant peace in our time.
We were wrong.

We reduced the defenses and let the Falklands be invaded in 1982.
But that won't happen again.

Arctic and Antarctic research is something we do well.

Oh and it's on Lensfield Road, next to the Department of Chemistry.

I am currently watching the box sets of the Spanish TV series “Isabel”‘. Now she really shaped the history of Europe in the late 15th century and the early 16th, didn't she? T
