Don't have the technical skill to post a picture...but can you guess our favourite mooring:

It's been confirmed as the first place that the romans landed. Has a posh gaff (well UNburied by now) nearby built by a man who saw that Rome was the way to go. Loads of egrets...well away from the mobos. one hour from the sea.

Veni vidi vici.

I thought the Romans landed at Pevensey, like the Normans. And wasn't Cnut up to his tricks there. It must have been like the M25 there for that 1000 years. Oh, a serious guess? Rye?

Don't be daft. The sea comes to Maldon.

Don't wriggle. The sea can be a river and a river the sea. ;-)
Me? I'm not wriggling.

According to Google it's either Fishbourne or Richborough - seems to be some debate as to where they actually first landed.

Or out to Severn strode
The rolling English drunkard
Made the rolling English road.

It's FISHBOURNE, it's gotta be Fishbourne - we're right and everyone else is wrong - ignore those eastern devils!


oops, have I given the game away? I must try to be more subtle....

You still haven't named the spot, though.

Re: Indeed...

It's a good rhyme but very unhistorical.

There's loads to go round, Tony. Anyway, you are the lot with the barrier so you can nick it.
