Today is the 800th Anniversary of Magna Carta. It reminded me of learning the poem by Hugh Chesterton which begins ' John was a tyrant, John was a tartar, John put his name to the Great Big Charter, and all the barons from Thames to Tweed, followed the road to Runnymead.' I remember we had to learn it when I was at Peel Park and was reciting to out loud to mum but couldn't understand why she started laughing. I thought I had got it right. The trouble was I had said ' And all the barons from Thames to Tweed, followed the road to Bramley Mead.' Good job she corrected me or I would have been in lumber with Mrs Becker !!!!!
