"According to reports.. Northerners suffered more from Covid than Southerners...
Why is this?
Because Southerners wrote the reports?
 "
It was some Professor from Manchester Uni. I heard him on the radio earlier |

"Do you mean there was a higher infection rate per 100,000?"
I think it's more to do with the impact on the economy being greater in the North. Perhaps unsurprisingly the poorest areas felt the biggest impact. As so often, those already struggling will be hit far harder by financial difficulties than those who are in a more secure position. |

I see. Hastings is one of the most disadvantaged areas in the country and people have been hit very hard indeed. |

"The trouble with ancient history is the bloody scientists again.. They think they know it all.. Hastings could have been a diversion for the main attack up north.
Probably near York "
So agree! The scientists that said face masks had no protection then changed their minds. Lol |

Yeah, it's the same around our way to (South Wales). Hastings is perhaps not typical of the South East as a whole though.
Slightly different note, it's been many years since I was last there but you mentioning Hastings reminded me of happy childhood memories. The fishermen's huts and a little shop selling wooden toys and stuff

No Tom it's on the south coast. I was just showing that I understand how poverty impacted on the effect of corona virus economically and health wise. |

The battle was fought some way from Hastings at a place called Battle. There's an Abbey on the site and its possible to walk round the battle field |

Mr"
I'm not sure what is typical of the south east.
The end of Hastings where the fishermans huts are is still a tourist attraction along with the little train and the funicular railway |

Because the media love to divide the country and instigate bad feeling, it's probably media bull. |

"It's research from a Professor at Manchester University and to be fair ... He sounded like a northerner.. "
I went to Colchester Institute, and one of the jobs I had to fund my education, the line manager used to call me “that Scottish guy”. I asked him why he thought I was Scottish, and his reply was “because I knew you weren’t Welsh” |

The battle field is deadly boring don't you think  .
Did you know that King Harold was actually killed on the spot where now stands a mini roundabout? What a memorial |

There is an old legend that in olden times, pedestrians, horse riders and carts would not ride over the spot where Harold fell. They would drive around the spot and this became a natural roundabout and the first invented. I am not sure this is true or wether Harold actually existed. It could be a fable... |

Harold definitely existed.
As to the roundabout story I couldn't say if it's true or not and I can never tell big you're serious or taking the Mick, hence I always pay you the respect of taking you seriously. What I will say is that the spot they previously believe he was killed on is quite some way from the place some now think it to be. |

It’s this and other contributory factors including much longer lockdown periods, lack of services, higher demographic households. BUT the community attitude and feeling more than makes up for the lack of government assistance. And we have Andy Burnham! |

I quite enjoyed it tbh! Listening to the commentary of the events of the battle as you walk around the place where 7000 men died, and our country changed forever afterwards, was sobering. Everyone knows ‘1066, the Battle of Hastings, Harold and the arrow in his eye’, but how many have actually been there, and how many actually know the battle wasn’t even at Hastings? |

I probably found it boring because as you might imagine I've had it all drummed into me since primary school so none of it was new to me. I do enjoy the actual abbey ruins though |

The story of King Cnut is incorrect. He actually ordered the tide to stop to prove to his people that he wasn't all powerful.

Arthur, Harold and Kanute..

Harold is a cash cow for Hastings..
The local economy needs him whether he existed or not.
