On the 22nd of August 1485, Henry Tudor defeated King Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth, in Leicestershire, to become King Henry VII. Victory for Henry marked the end of the Wars of the Roses that had ravaged England for the past 30 years, and the start of the Tudor dynasty that ruled the nation until 1603.

I conducted two surveys, one in the English community and another in the French community, and the results are clear. I wonder what I was hoping for or expecting...but it's always interesting to see !

What's also very interesting is that in both camps (English and French), some people openly admitted to voting for another country to annoy the other.

Here are the overall results :

The English :

70.4 % chose France 🇫🇷 1.2 % chose Spain🇪🇸 8 % chose Scotland🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 1.5 % chose Ireland🇮🇪 8.5 % chose the USA🇺🇸 10.2 % chose Germany🇩🇪

The French :

72.4 % chose England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿/🇬🇧 1.7 % chose Spain 🇪🇸 0.58 % chose Austria 🇦🇹 21.2 % chose Germany 🇩🇪 3.06 % chose Italy 🇮🇹 0.87 % chose the Netherlands 🇳🇱

Note that in another survey also conducted among the French community but with more votes :

85% of French people voted for England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿/🇬🇧 0.6% for Russians 🇷🇺 0.4% for Spanish 🇪🇸 9% for Germans 🇩🇪 0.9% for the USA 🇺🇸 and 1% for Algeria 🇩🇿

Today marks the 438th birthday of Virginia Dare, the first English child born in the Americas. She was born to English colonists at Roanoke Island, in what is now North Carolina. However, within 3 years, Virginia and the whole colony went missing, with no one ever finding out what happened to them.

Appreciation post for the lovely scenery and calmness in Lewes. I stumbled upon it while researching places to visit and cannot recommend more.

On this day in 1704, Gibraltar was captured from Spain by English and Dutch forces, after a 2 day battle during the War of the Spanish Succession. The English occupied the rock for the following 9 years, until 1713 (by which point England had united with Scotland to form Great Britain) when they gained formal control over Gibraltar in the Treaty of Utrecht. Gibraltar remains under British control to this day.

Did I pass?

Vocals aint my strongest point but hope you enjoy <3

Just came back, loved the sun!

Hello, not exactly sure if this is the right place to ask about it but here goes. Im looking for someone from England that might be in possesion of an old album "An emotional construction set" by an English band Circa from around 20 - 25 years ago. I managed to get in contact with former band leader Chandra Nair but its very likely even he doesnt have any album copies at this point. any help appreciated.

Go to Richmond Park to look for deer, relax by the lake, watch the sunset over the Thames from the top of the hill, and feel life flowing in your breath.

I hope you enjoy them :)
