Ian RoyalSpaceCruiser Actually, that reminds me. I had a beer with a Frenchman last night (he also works for the Met O) and I told him I'd visited the Waterloo battlefield back in July. He wasn't impressed.
Well it is probably just a field, not a lot to be impressed with these days.
It *is* a field, but there's also a big hill with a statue of a lion on top of it and there's a panorama depicting the battle. Plus a waxworks museum and a pub across the road from the hill.
