ha, i remember this one in particular, as it had that shot of nick's wargame in it! nice of him to answer those who wished to know which game it was, too. the battle has celebrated its 80th anniversary this year. i also think that cats and wargames don't mix! i wonder how many times nick has flipped his lid, because kitty jumped on top of the table with the game in progress lol well, there go the desert rats - rommel couldn't defeat them, but, kitty could 🙃

There's a lot of Viking history in that area, Neasden is Nose Hill in scandinavian, Gunnersbury was Gunnhildes house a lot of the people in the west of london have typical viking / scandal features, blue eyes, blonde hair etc.

I remember this day well: 1. The Germans won. 2. The silly old bag in the park who fancied herself as an expert on ring-neck parakeets.

I take umbrage to them changing the name of the park! History should be respected, not tore asunder! I also heard they tore down the old spotted dog pub!? Sacrilege!
