Cnut seems to have done repeat show all round the country, according to Wikiwhatever:
The site of the episode is often identified as Thorney Island (now known as Westminster), where Canute set up a royal palace during his reign over London.[9][10] Thorney Island is also a small peninsula within Chichester harbour, very close to another claimed location, Bosham and Conflictingly, a sign on Southampton city centre's Canute Road reads, "Near this spot AD 1028 Canute reproved his courtiers".[11][12] Bosham in West Sussex also claims to be the site of this episode, as does Gainsborough in Lincolnshire. As Gainsborough is inland, if the story is true then Canute would have been trying to turn back the tidal bore known as the aegir. Another tradition places this episode on the north coast of the Wirral,[13] which at the time was part of Mercia.
Must have been a big hit. Surprised Boris hasn't had a go at it.

My money's on Bosham, which was quite an important port back then, as his daughter was buried there after drowning nearby.
Also, if the version I heard is correct, the Cnuts were his fawning nobles, who claimed he was so powerful he could command the tides. He pulled the stunt to prove them wrong.

Ah well, I shall await my email. Since I've had a couple of them recently, it may be a while before I'm back to annoy you lot again.

Just for the record, that was nothing to do with me.
My response to your post was purely in the fine old tradition of Southampton vs Pompey rivalry. Certainly nothing I’d go crying to teacher about.

I looked at Discord, but it seemed to want to take over my computer, so it got uninstalled
Since the censors don't like mention of the Danish King of England, whose name I forget, I have spammed them, so if anything else annoys them I shall probably be banned. Wokery at its most stupid. (Apart from crabiing around on one knee.)

Probably too close to being Current Affairs.
It just depends how you define current.

Switzerland has a brilliant system of parking control. Anyone can erect a no-parking sign oin private land. The if someone parks you just cakl the local police station and they tow the vehicle tot he pound. It is so simple. No cowboys just simole control. The effect is brilliantly few risk it as you won't get a ticket you will just get towed.

Bloke doesn’t know whether to kick the tyres and hurt his feet , or film it happening - or try multitasking the two and fall over in so doing ? . Tough choices
