well living in Hull, during the war we told Charles to get stuffed when he came up to the gates and asked for all the weapons that the city, which was then an arsenal, had inside.

so that makes me a... erm... whichever one that makes me, I can never remember :blush:

" the king sent a messenger to Sir John Hotham, to afford him another opportunity of admitting his majesty into Hull, and offering him a gracious pardon for his past disloyalty. Sir John again refused, and Charles returned to York. This was the first open act of hostility between the king and the parliament, and was fatal to the king's cause, for had Charles succeeded in making himself master of Hull, then the best furnished arsenal in England, it would in all probability have averted that terrible civil war, which for four years desolated England.
"

So you can all blame me for the Civil War, OK?
