Re: "England Expects..."

[quote=Wynonie Harris]Admiral Lord Duncan, Nelson's mentor, was yet another great naval hero to whom this country owes a debt of gratitude. In 1797, the Dundee-born Duncan commanded the British fleet which defeated the Dutch fleet at the Battle of Camperduin. The Dutch ships were about to pick up thousands of French troops to invade Britain. Thanks to Duncan, the invasion was thwarted. Personally, I think they should erect a statue of him on the empty plinth in Trafalgar Square, but I don't suppose it'll happen.quote]
Don't think it would have been that bad being invaded by the Dutch, all that free sex and drugs.
