just going to interrupt to harrumph over a lil bit of dumbing down: "The tea fields of Ceylon [as Sri Lanka was then known in the UK] are as true a monument to courage as is the lion at Waterloo."
why not put "[the battle not the station derp]"?

Presumably the writer or the sub was frightened that using the historically appropriate name might make the readership get a bit testy.

The lion at Waterloo
Sounds like a pub to me. What lion anyway?

lol actually this has opened a whole can of worms... the waterloo lion (the one at the station, not the one on the battleground), was MOVED in 1966 (a few years before sri lanka was so named) to somewhere NEAR waterloo station
― i am legernd (history mayne), Monday, 6 September 2010 12:48 (fifteen years ago)
You confused me by making it seem as if there were lions present at the Battle of Waterloo, led around on chains by Mamelukes no doubt

you mean the stone lion that's now on westminster bridge?

not sure what it represents, exactly. not 'what a tragic waste of life' tho, clearly!

King William I of the Netherlands ordered the construction of this monument in 1820, to commemorate bravoury of his son, the prince of Orange, who was wounded here during the battle.
another typical monpolisation of history by the ruling classes then.
― ledge, Monday, 6 September 2010 12:58 (fifteen years ago)
Can tell it's a Dutch lion and not an English one by the way it has expertly trapped that cannonball with its paw

So sang Steven Patrick Morrissey in the unbearably sad I Know It's Over, from an album titled The Queen Is Dead – the Smiths' masterpiece, released in 1986.
Lot of background filling there. Reads like Dan Brown.

so few people seem interested in the creative cross-pollination it might inspire
If the creative cross-pollination it inspires sounds like the Gorillaz then they're right not to be interested.

In keeping with his catholic tastes, Albarn – a passionate fan of the music of west Africa – was performing alongside Bobby Womack, the rap trio De La Soul, and Snoop Dogg
