Re: Down the pub - the thread about nothing and everything - robbo - 12-03-17
Is that where the river divides Robbo?
Hi Tommy,
What looks like a fork in the river below the bridge is actually the River Mole and River Ember running into the Thames.That point of land behind Hampton Court rail station is known as Cigarette Island. Nothing to do with fag butts, just the way the bankside forms a thin point.

[size=1em]King Henry the 8th was a strange man, definitely not to be focced with, but in other ways released us (The United Kingdom) from the grasp of tyranny imposed by Rome, and Catholic dominance over the people.[/size]
Strange comment Tommy, are you implying Tyranny of Henry the 8th and dominance by Church of England was acceptable. :eek
Do you know, Mark Twain is right

Ho Ho! we could get into a right old discussion here about the C of E verses the C of R.
I personally thing that it was Rome that dominated the people of this country (Pre Henry 8th) by refusing to let the masses read the Holy Scriptures for themselves, not many of the working classes in England could read Latin.
So only the priests, cardinals and all the others that held office within the Catholic Church had access to the 'Word of God', so, they said what was acceptable and true. the [size=1em]way they discerned it. [/size]
Henry 8th brought about change even if it was for his own ends (I'm not saying he was a good chap) he kicked out Roman Catholicism and formed the Church of England, but it was King James that really opened the the Church up to the people as he authorised the creation of 'The King James Bible' it was completed in year 1611 in Cambridge by scholars, it was written in English for the masses and not in Latin as the Catholic Bible was at that time.
I just chucked some more coal on the fire me thinks.

My question would have to be what percentage of the population were literate in 1611? So did translating it really change peoples understanding of the scriptures or did most still rely on biased readings during church services?

Ahh! again we have a difference in opinion and of course well ALL think our opinions are right and that is why we hold them, but there is also a great number of the populous that think Mark (In all his wisdom) was wrong, or in other words a Twat.
On of My favourites of Twain's famous sayings was:
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.
Don't you just love debate?

Hey Robbo thanks got the info matey, Knowing it is a point where more than one river joins makes sense, to start with I thought it was a loop in the Thames at that point forming like an Ox Bow. Cheers buddy much in the way of fish in that part before it gets to the polluted bits, although being quite tidal at that point probably does not make a lot of difference
