  Now you see, that's why I hate the Romans. They come over here, build straight, but very boring roads, build a wall in the middle of nowhere, muck about with our women from Colchester, and worst of all, give all our plants latin names.
  
  For heaven's sake, if that weren't enough, they're now sending a German bloke over to start it off all over again.

  As usual with the great British weather, a glorious Dover day in high summer is inevitably followed by a thunder storm. This rolled in this evening.

  Sid - I think it was Linnaeus who established the latin classification of botanical names for plants, animals etc. Born 1707, Swedish.
  Look at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Linnaeus
  
  The Romans brought a lot of civilisation to Britain !! in other ways though.

  That storm was breathtaking - I was driving home down the M25/M20 way and it followed me, billowing out in my rear view mirror behind me like smoke until I reached Dover and the heavens opened!! It was truly glorious and it felt like I was racing a storm!
