    Assuming that the "donkeys" were responsible for excessive deaths etc. due to incompetence the statistics would clearly indicate the worst military strategists among the major players?

    So British deaths & casualties by mobilised forces 35.8% were nearly half in percentage compared to Germany 64.9%. What where the Germans led by?

    The French were at 73.3% yet they were on the same major battlefields as us for the majority of the war.


    death wise it was

    British 10.2% chance of death.
    German 16.1%
    French 16.1%

    So the Lions had 6% fewer dying must have been a mistake the generals didn't kill enough to keep up with the others.

    There are plenty of other stats to look at if you want.
    Using the express was meant to trigger your arrogance and as usual it worked you attacked the messenger not the facts

    There were no stats in these! Scary you arent able to follow a timeline.


    I'm still on topic but you said your expertise is in Roman history so I quoted a reputable source that clearly used winning & fewer casualties = competence.


    Just give up, you make no sense.
    I was following a timeline. I just didn't start at the beginning. But you would like to start at the beginning so let's do that, although it won't help you.

    1. Sas says x is true.
    2. You post links to try to show that x is untrue.
    3. I say that only a truly cretinous gammon could think that the complexity of differing historical viewpoints can be settled by picking the one that makes the British establishment look good.

    How do you infer from 3 that I am saying that x is true?

          You can do it, vetran!

            well you obviously can't. Can't follow a time line, make a consistent case or even explain it.

            So you now agree that Sas is wrong and you made a mistake insulting me, then spent loads of posts digging, you then try to deny what you meant?

            Fecking sad!


            Here we go for anyone that is still unsure, it has pictures (unfortunately no crayons).

            A Major General who served in the Falklands and used many of the tactics developed at the Somme did a documentary on the Somme and explains fairly convincingly why it happened the way it did.

              Classic vetran. Now you think I've been saying that I think Sas is wrong. Take me through that logic. I'll help you walk through it.

              1. Sas says x is true.
              2. You post links to try to show that x is untrue.
              3. I say that only a truly cretinous gammon could think that the complexity of differing historical viewpoints can be settled by picking the one that makes the British establishment look good.

              How do you infer from 3 or from anything else that I have posted that I am saying that x is untrue?

                To get back on topic, the wife was advised to book in a test at a nearby centre and managed to get one for 2pm.
                Upon arriving she was told "the wait is about 2.5 hours. And we haven't got enough tests" - so returned home making the trip non essential.

                It turns out you don't actually have to bother booking online, you can just turn up. So the whole booking system is fairly pointless and loads of people are hanging around or have to come out multiple times.
