Was Macron right to offer to lend it to us.It would be great for it to be exposed in Hastings- but surely it is far too old and delicate to be transported- and should stay where it is.

I do get annoyed though when people say it is about the French beating the Brits. It was about one group of immigrants living in Normandy, beating another group of related immigrants, living in England- Vikings, cousins.

It's going to cost us a few bob isn't it? They're not exactly lending it to us free of charge are they ?

I don’t see a problem. It will obviously be handled by experts.

Sorry MawBroon- but my comment was in response to newspapers, and lots of stuff on social media- to that effect.
