RICHARD III REMAINS IN LEICESTER CAR PARK...

Mr King Richard III

...I'm always forgetting where I parked the car too!* 

*It's okay - I know that's really lame.


Frankly I'm amazed more isn't being made of it.

One of our English Kings - the last of the Plantagenets no less (which, incidentally is one of my favourite words.  Right up there with 'mantlepiece') - has been languishing in a Leicester car park for years.

For 'tis true.  The bones were DNA tested and have 'proved beyond reasonable doubt' to be those of King Richard III.

Ooooh.

Did you ever....?

Ever opened the dictionary at exactly the page you need, quite by chance?
I just did - looking up 'evangelical' with my Middly Kiddly.


And we've got a BIG dictionary.    Spoooooooooooky.
