Wessex

Jezza revealed to us on the walk yday his interesting theory that Burgess Hill is based in Wessex. Far be it for an ignorant man from Portugal like me to complain, and I don't want to pour whisky margarine over his theory, but here is some info on Wessex:

Wessex was one of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms that preceded the Kingdom of England. It was named after the West Saxons and was situated in the south and southwest of England. It existed as a kingdom from the 6th century until the emergence of the English state in the 9th century, and as an earldom between 1016 and 1066. "Wessex" has not had any official existence since that time, but it has remained a familiar term since Thomas Hardy revived it for his West Country novels and poetry. The earldom was revived in 1999 for His Royal HighnessThe Prince Edward. Today some wish to see Wessex restored as a region of England.

Further, Biggles Butts revealed his love for all things transport, be it land, air or sea.

Therefore, I propose a second nickname for him - Tony Woodley - who is the General Secretary of the Transport & General Workers Union - http://www.tgwu.org.uk/

Red Jezza! Up the revolution, Comrades.

28th January - The Official pick on Jezza day.

What i was trying to say was West Sussex but it came out as Wessex.....

Oh forget it. I'm fighting a losing battle. I'll focus my energy on abusing Rooney.

No.1 was Wessex

No. 2 was the whisky margerine

No.4 was Portuguese


I can't for the life of me remember No. 3. Janek, any recollection of it?
