      It would be historic if I came back without booze and fags

          Thanks for your thoughts. Like so much in English there are shades and nuances and I have it solved now.

          Changing "walk" to "event" wasn't too helpful, sorry Suity, but I do appreciate the thought. And you misspelled "semantic"

          It's my opinion that a walk can be historic if the walk I will do will go down in history, or if the walk has already gone down in history and I'm repeating it. I'm 50/50 with MS that a walk can also be historic if there is lots of historical stuff along the way.

          Ta muchly!

                  That seems to have settled the meaning of "historic walk".

                  So now what is a British POW camp? Is it a camp in Britain for foreign POWs, or a camp overseas for British POWs?

                    It is called something else in Yorkshire -> Scunthorpe.

                      I thought that too - an historic walk, but when I googled it, it suggested that "a" is correct if the H is pronounced.
