  1. Loathed though I am to vaguely half agree with Roman propaganda I think the Ninth survived but got such a gubbing during Agricola's Invasion of Caledonia that it was pulled back to York and the second Brigantian revolt further thinned them out (Yorkshiremen are revolting). The remnants then being sent to the Rhine frontier to rest and recruit. Once that frontier had been stabalised they were sent to the Middle East where they got a severe case of sunburn and effectively ceased to exist. They were an elite Legion but attrition eventually bled them out. Did you know that much of the Eagle of the Ninth TV series was filmed just north of Fintry because there were a lack of power lines there in the late 70's, including a partial rebuild of a wooden Roman fort.

  3. Aye, we all have our cross to bear; you can tell a Yorkshireman .... you just can't tell him much. I've spent many a happy hour wandering the Yorkshire Moors on various holidays, miles and miles of bugger all😉 . @Kevin-mx1vi

  4. Vadoksam, I've got no gripe with anyone coming from any part of the world but I'm sure wherever you hail from you have traits of pronunciation (an accent).
