Well 90 years ago today the greatest sea battle of WWI was fought. Both sides claimed victory. The British lost more men and ships but the Germans never again had a large naval engagement on the high seas....
And amazingly Britains oldest man is a survivor of this battle!

Can we throw marmalade in jars if we pop a complimentary plaster in the jar?

Curious,

No! But you could put a load of marmalade in a balloon as a non-dangerous but very stick weapon Wink

Not so surprising since the old "Jute Land" comprises the major, mainland portion of Denmark; notice, on a map of the North Sea, that it rather sticks out like a sore thumb? 8)

that "main land" is actually an island, cut off from the continent by the north-east-sea-channel

does that make it an amputated sore thumb?

In fact here is an update. He'll be hitting his next birthday in 2 days! And the RAF will be honouring him (I guess he is their oldest surviving member as well as the only living survivor of Jutland) http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/southern_counties/5044206.stm

Gorden Brown presented him with a bottle of House of Commons Whiskey..............He probably taxed the old boys pension to pay for it.
