Someone elses link had the quote:

"British youth are ignorant of their own history with fewer than half questioned knowing Sir Francis Drake defeated the Spanish Armada, according to a poll."

Surely, the primary factor in the defeat of the Spanish Armada was the weather? Also, those jagged rocks were handy.

True.

"Mr Drake, the Spanish are about to attack"
"Hmm, whilst thou lookest at those waves, sodest thou for a game of bowls".

... and that's how the legend began !
