SEEING as the family history jokes appear not yet to be exhausted,
did I ever tell you about my ancestor who was killed at the Battle of
Hastings?

It was a tragic accident, actually. He shouldn't have been there at
all, but he was camping in the next field and went over to complain
about the noise!
