VIII is Enough
I'm still having trouble believing that anyone bothered to read the lengthy account of my rustic Norfolk New Years Eve carefully enough to notice, but several readers wrote in to call attention to a glaring typo. The song sung with such gusto by the good local people in the George and the Dragon was not, as I inadvertently reported, "Henry VII." It was in fact "Henry VIII," the old English music hall number popularized in America by Herman's Hermits. As far as I know, there is no English music hall song on the subject of Henry VII, so I cannot provide the lyrics, despite several disingenuous requests.
The Blogs of War regrets the error.
