Thanks

The story is that he got tired of sycophants telling him how powerful he was and that he could command the tide not to come in. So, he told them he’d check it out and when the tide came in, he lost items in the Wash (a large feature in the coastline of Norfolk).
I’m a Celt and the Norsemen never conquered Wales or Cumbria. Maybe the land was not suitable for farming, and they didn’t bother us. Strangely neither the Saxons nor the Norse ever used Celic words and there aren’t any Norse or Anglo-Saxon words in Wales.
Both the Brits and the Canadians could use Proportionate Representation when they vote, especially the Brits. Greetings from Canada.
