    Harry Patch was shelled and his friends killed alongside. He was retraining in England to go back to the front when the war ended. They were kept in the army way after the war and they all complained, as they were volunteers only in for the war. They were made to march and shine everything and do all the silly peacetime army things. The group refused to go on parade and an officer (probably a young private school kid) came up to them and pulled out his revolver and said he would shoot the first one who refuses. Patch said 30 bolts immediately cocked and the officer walked away, Good on them. They were all up on mutiny and the charges dropped. Then they went home.
    The new Amsterdam at Liverpool?

    Deprived of its unique dockland waters Liverpool
    becomes a Venice without canals, just another city, no
    longer of special interest to anyone, least of all the
    tourist. Would we visit a modernised Venice of filled in
    canals to view its modern museum describing
    how it once was?
