Do you know........

Did you know that London was burned twice?

The Great Fire of 1666 wasn't the first fire of London.

Queen Boadicea of the Iceni burned it (and Colchester and St Albans) nearly 2000 years ago.

She was revolting against the tax men.
 
Do you know what it means to come home at night to a man who'll give you a little love, a little affection, a little tenderness? It means you're in the wrong house, that's what it means.
 
Do you know the difference between a beautiful woman and a charming one? A beauty is a woman you notice, a charmer is one who notices you.
 
Your neighbors forget your last name and start referring to you as "you know,:rolleyes: the cat people:eek:

fgarvb1, I'm always here my friend, any btw, who's 'we"?:rose::cool:
Tristesse2, miss you too Tristesse, you're always a sweetheart!:kiss::rose:
 
Stop, look, listen and think.
There is always a way to get from where you are to where you want to be.:eek:
 
If you don’t love yourself, you’ll always be chasing people who don’t love you, either.:eek::rolleyes:
 
Nobody can change a person, but someone can be the reason for a person to change.
 
Happiness does not depend on what you have or who you are; it solely relies on what you think.
 
Worry is a total waste of time. It doesn't change anything. All it does is steal your joy and keeps you very busy doing nothing.
 
There are more tunnels under Dover Castle than we can visit.

The first ones were dug in medieval times when the castle was being besieged by the French. The French nearly broke into the castle but were repelled from a tunnel dug by those inside.

Many more tunnels were dug during the late 18th and early 19th Century to repel Napoleon's threatened invasion. They were used during World Wars 1 and 2.

During WW2 they were massively extended, including an underground hospital.

Those that can be visited are a small proportion of the whole, some of which were used as a nuclear bunker until the 1960s.

There is nearly as much space underground as is visible above - and Dover Castle is one of England's largest castles.
