Archaeologists believe they may have found the final battle site for the warrior queen Boadicea - on the site of a McDonald's restaurant.
Having spent her life in fierce resistance to one empire - the Romans - her last stand is thought to have been overshadowed by another one, this time corporate.
-- Nick Britten in the Telegraph
I didn't even know that Boadicea consumed fast food. No wonder the Romans massacred her troops.
I think there is a statement in there somewhere about the same site being lost to foreign empires at least twice that we know of, now.
ReplyDeleteOh, I thought McDonald's was a Scottish chain.
ReplyDeleteAnd I seem to remember that another legend says that she's buried under King's Cross railway station.
ReplyDeleteIt seems poetic was it at Verulaneuam or Camolododunum
ReplyDeleteTo read what she really thought...
