Gratitude of a Rescued Octopus
- Releasing a stranded octopus and it thanked me @ YouTube (8 August 2013)
English pride
“The English are vastly fond of great noises, and when they have had a glass or two of beer they will fire off cannons or ring bells for the pleasure of it.” So Paul Hentzner noted in his diary in Tudor times.
Hentzner was a keen-eyed German traveller, and he found the Londoners strange, but very well satisfied with themselves. “If they see a foreigner well made or exceptionally handsome they will say ‘what a pity he is not an Englishman!’ “
