A Pragmatic victory. (Guthers will get it)

Also involved in the victory was George's son William, Duke of Cumberland who later was the victor at Culloden. That victory led to two different plants being named after him: the Sweet William, and - in Scotland - Stinking Billy (ragwort)

And a few pubs, although the Duke of Cumberland on the King's road was sadly renamed "The Duke on the Green".

It's 106 miles to Portman Road, we've got a full tank of gas, half a round of Port Salut, it's dark... and we're wearing blue tinted sunglasses.

I like that the original stone statue was taken down after a reappraisal of Cumberlands history. Known as Butcher Cumberland and that wasn't because he made tasty sausages.

My name is Fred Fernackerpan, I walk about the town,
Sometimes with my trousers up and sometimes with them down.
When they were up, they were up,
When they were down, they were down
And when they were only half way up,
I was arrested.
