Any of you navy types noticed the battle of Trafalgar was 207 years ago today? EricT

It's been mentioned a few times this year where as it doesn't normally seem to get coverage

Strage that

We usually turn a blind eye to it.

Ian !next you'll be saying that Nelson was 'armless(well almost) or that when someone in a Dutch bar offered to buy Van Gogh a beer he replied 'no thanks I've got one ear' EricT

I wasn't there 207 years ago although I'm often accused of it I'm sure the boys on the Victory in Pompey will have a few tot's tonight

I think the 207th anniversary is important because there were 27 British ships against 33 French & Spanish. Dividing 207 by the sum of the ships fighting (60) results in 3.45, which has a kind of flow to it.


Further, may I suggest that 207/27=7 (and a bit)
and 207/30=6 (and a bit)
and as we all know 6x7=42, which is the meaning of life

And of course Nelson defeated the Freanch single handed
