Really? Back to the Future Day? Seriously, that is the best that can be done on October 21st? I am an old stick in the mud that can't stand this "news" item. It's been played across the BBC and every other channel and the reality is that people are clutching at straws to find a correct prediction in a series of films that were just meant to be a bit of fun...
...that is part of my bone of contention...
...on this day 210 years ago we lost our greatest hero and the last real threat of an invasion to these fair shores, at the Battle of Trafalgar, 21st Oct 1805. Britain's navy took on the combined strength of the French and Spanish navies and stopped the real threat of an invasion. All wars after that have been fought on the Continent, never on the English mainland. It cost the life of Nelson but what a victory, decimated a navy that was a good deal larger and in death it consolidated the legend of the great man, Britain's truest son.
Back to the future day can kiss my a**e.
