the bit about wine cellars for the romans is a new one on me.
logical, i suppose, i wonder if it was all brought in by them or made from grapes here? - 30 October 2009 13:3032037An interesting theory !Been nice knowing you :)
- 30 October 2009 13:3532039there has been evidence that grapevines thrived as far north as hull during the roman occupation.
- 30 October 2009 14:2232043Verica, noble of the Atrebates tribe in the very early first century AD produced Roman-style coins with vine leaves depicted on them. This implies there must have been a thriving wine industry in Southern Britain during the very latter part of the late Iron Age.

- 30 October 2009 16:4732052Yes Grapes were grown in the south of England...obviously it must have been due to the climate being warmer.Global warming no doubt
And today the EU pledged another £20 billion to help combat and slow down GW with the UK share being £1 billion.The Romans simply stopped burning slaves and witches.Marek
I think therefore I am (not a Tory supporter) - 31 October 2009 08:1332082I thought it was the dark ages when they burnt witches Marek - the Spanish inquisition: no one expects the Spanish Inquisition !!
