    The French obviously didn't take on board the lessons from the Battle of Crecy. They carried on underestimating us right up until Waterloo!

    Except, as I said, the French won the 100 years war.

    And Waterloo as some Duke once said was "Damn close run thing".
    Still fecking won it. :smiley:

    Remind me who went into exile and who went on to become First Lord of the Treasury?
    Prime Minister is good but not quite Emperor.
    Emperor eh? Very nice.

    How do you become Emperor then?

    You win lots of battles, something the French, and Napoleon, were very good at although not so much recently since they signed the second "armistice" in 1940
