I was just at Tesco. I did not previously know the checkout person. CHECKOUT PERSON: So, thatll be £16.48. MARN: (long pause) What happened in 1648? I thought it was the Spanish Armada. But that sounds like it should have been in 1548. CHECKOUT PERSON: Yeah, thats definitely the Tudors. It was under Henry, wasnt it? The Mary Rose and all that. MARN: I thought it was Elizabeth. Didnt Philip of Spain send the Armada because he wanted her to marry him? CHECKOUT PERSON: Well, what youve gotta remember is, Spain as such didnt exist at the time. There were, like, two or three different states there, and then youve got the Holy Roman Empire making things more complicated... (discussion continues for a while) More of this, please.
