Cartoon of Napoleon being sent into exile

Stuff you don't need to know

A collection of trivia! Interesting stories, events and people from history delivered quickfire and with a touch of humour. Subjects include Napoleon in exile, the shortest war in history, cockney rhyming slang, unusual record breaking footballers and crackpot conspiracy theories.
History
Delivery: In person
Photo of Billy the Kid
A bugbear of mine is the glorification of crime and the elevation to status of folk hero of some very unsavoury people. A humorous talk includes Dick Turpin, Ned Kelly, Al Capone, Billy the Kid and others and explodes the myths that these people were fluffy pussycats worthy of our admiration.
