I can’t find a great reference, but Wikipedia’s page is a good start. Long story short, William the Conqueror never conquered the city of London. After a lengthy seige, they came to an agreement that involved them accepting him as king in return for certain special privileges.

Also, I don’t of any VM provider that doesn’t require some sort of I’d already, at least an email address.

Yeah… But I know of no purely mathematical theory that predicts entropy - this really is a physics thing.

Just as well that this is physics then!

Sooner or later Bristol airport is going to rebrand as London-Bristol.

I’m glad I live I Euro land, though both British and Austrian schillings are long gone…
