38. The Invasion of Fishguard

23rd September 2023 - 38 minutes

Episode Description

Heard of the old saying, “mess with Wales and you get the pitchfork”? Doubtful because we just made it up.

But it’s a phrase that might sound familiar to the French after they sent a load of invaders over in 1797 and got their tushies sent packing. Hit play and listen to us recount the last ever invasion of mainland Britain.

This week’s intro/outro is Gwyneth Herbert – Ladies of Fishguard and it’s an absolute banger. Give it a proper listen here.
