            I don't mind watching them sometimes - mainly because of all the wonderful characters - the 'experts'. They were all so passionate and excited about their finds.

              2012

              Bill Cooper (83) and his wife Laurel (82), who had spent the previous 36 years sailing round the world and clocked up 100,000 nautical miles returned to the UK to retire, because their health was starting to fail. They had sold their home in Chatham, Kent, and set off from Lowestoft, Suffolk, in June 1976 on their 50ft. vessel Fare Well.

                That must have been an amazing way to live. I'm not sure I would have wanted to do it for quite so long, but 10 years or so would have been great.

                I wonder if they settled on land ok after all that time?

                    I remember watching that - the storyline was always the topic of interest at school the next day!

                        Imagine being crowned king at the age of 9 - younger than many of our grandchildren!

                          1988

                          The grave of Boadicea, the warrior queen who fought the Romans in Britain nearly 2,000 years ago, was located by archaeologists under Platform 8 at King’s Cross railway station, London. British Rail said they had just refurbished the platform and anyone wanting to dig it up would have to come up with a strong case. And they did!

                              I remember hearing about it, but can't remember the outcome - did they find her remains and what did they do with them?
