BRIGG EXPECTS EVERY ENGLISHMAN TO DO HIS DUTY


We've just been past the Lord Nelson/Hardy's hostelry in Brigg town centre, which is decked out with England flags ahead of tonight's Euro 2016 football match against Iceland, which many local people will be watching at home on TV or in one of our bars.
Admiral Lord Nelson, hero of the Battle of Trafalgar, famously suggested that England expected every man to do his duty. 
He was talking about sailors, but His Lordship's instruction might also be applied to Roy Hodgson's foot soldiers doing battle in France tonight!
