1066 ... was that some battle?

One of our local tourist guides has come in for a fair bit of stick recently and has had to be pulped after naming the 1066 Battle of Hastings victor as the Duke of Wellington.

The Battle Town Map and Guide describes how Wellington crossed the Channel in 1066 to take on England’s King Harold. Wellington — famous for his triumph at Waterloo — as any fool knows was not born until 700 years later.

The problem, of course, is that these things are no longer carried out by local companies but by firms from outside the area staffed by bozos who don't know their Wellington from their Hush Puppy!

Bosses at Cityscape Maps have apologised for the mistake. Les Ball, managing director of the Lincoln-based firm, said: “We are aware there is an error”.
You're not wrong there Les.
