Being taken to a field at 7 years old somewhere near Battle, outside Hastings where apparently the 1066 skirmish took place and finding it was just a field, nothing there, no blood, no armour, swords, axes, bits of bodies,(didn't know about decomposition then!) in fact bugger all unless you count grass! My father was a history buff we frequently did this sort of thing every castle or abbey we went anywhere near had to be visited. All ruins look the same when you are a kid! I think I used to mutter under my breath " call this a holiday, why can't we go to Butlins like normal people?"
