good one Malc.
I remember Bernard O'Higgins, was it in Chile? There are Bernard O'Higgins avenues, Universities, Parks, monuments. I remember thinking it was a joke. It weren't it was real. Funny old World.
Thanks for keeping the thread alive Pablo. There's always the chance it will trip the old memory.
Bernardo O'Higgins; Liberator of the the Chilean people from the Spanish Conquistadors in the early 1800s. Bernardo O'Higgins was of Irish and Basque descent.
Must have been one the first separatists!

Nice one Oudeis. He is a real hero over there.
Thanks Oudeis.
Never thought he'd turn up on Richmond Bridge. Must revolution in the air.
All help is much appreciated,
