BRITAIN'S OLDEST WAR VETERAN PUTS DOWN LONG LIFE TO BIRDS, BOOZE AND FAGS
We won't be seeing 110-year-old Henry Allingham in a stop smoking advert.
Born in 1896, H says that his long life has been achieved by "cigarettes, whisky, and wild, wild women."
Happy Birthday Henry.
Henry took part in the Battle of Jutland in World War I, 90 years ago.
Without the victory against the German sea assault, Europe's waters would have been surrended to facism*.
(*actually prussianism I am informed, see comments)

No, if we had lost at Jutland the seas of Europe would have been surrendered to Prussianism.
I will have to look that up, knew I'd get the wrong -ism. But I bow to your knowledge and welcome to E.R., Jonathan.
Cant see what difference the 1st world war made anyway. Wasnt it just a game played by the aristocrats? Still, gave us socialism tho.
