Well, if you say so........... although I think it is just dreadful. =
Full of the most obscure images, creepy reflectoshots done to death, =
later borrowed graphics. And the psuedo-medieval style grates on me like =
having my shins rubbed on a step whilst finding sand in a bacon =
sandwich!

But the oddest thing is there is virtually no photos that I can find - =
in five minutes of looking, anyway - of combatants. Of all the battles =
re-created in Britain in the last 20 years, this must be the most =
frequently done. I am amazed to find no pictures of Saxons and Normans =
on a site dedicated to their most important meeting.

Regards,


Kim Siddorn.

gave Oscars for websites this would have a trunk full.
