    If a majority Scottish army is regarded as purely Scottish then   
   > why is Marston Moor not down as a Scottish victory,   
      
   Because they all (well,  most anyway) ran away?   
      
   Although Marston Moor is exceptional in that all the commanding generals on   
   both sides ran away thinking they'd been beaten...

   I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.   
   Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland   
   I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate   
   All these moments will be lost in time,  like icecream on the beach   
   Time for tea.
