    Charles II's illegitimate son (the Duke of Monmouth) was executed for rebelling against James II. His head was then put back on his shoulders so that his portrait could be painted.


    How totally gruesome ​

        2000

        Footballer George Best's doctor begged every barman in Britain to refuse to serve alcohol to the footballing legend to help him beat his addiction.
        Best was controversially granted an NHS liver transplant in 2002 and died in 2005, aged 59, due to complications from a drug used to prevent the rejection of transplanted organs.​

          It was so sad that one of the best footballers ever was destroyed by alcohol addiction. So many people tried to help him, but he seemed hell-bent on self-destruction.

            Daisy, I always think any form of addiction is terrible. Lives are destroyed and not just those of the addicts.

                  Perhaps climate change started long before we used the term "climate change"!

                    London’s first railway station opened, in Euston Grove. The new Euston station was described as ‘mightier than the pyramids of Egypt’.​

                          It was awful - whole communities engulfed in raging torrents of horrible muddy water. It all happened to so quickly, too.

                              I suppose very few people had cars in 1957 and relied on the buses for getting to work etc.
