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.

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. [/quote] 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?
Complete fabrication, I didn't make it up!

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? [/quote][/quote]

Really - I think your question should read - what percentage are literate in 2017? People are like sheep - and will follow accordingly And I would like to see your wife tits. :rollin :rollin :rollin

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
