PS

Couldn't help but do a quick bit of searching and the recreation of the fight between the two gladiators at the inaugural games was based on the account of Martial so fact based - nothing yet on the rest ... I'm willing to accept that I'm a Grade A cynic who can be out of line (though not about bored undergraduates swilling around the midlands former polytechnics). And now that ghastly fascistic woman who is Education Secretary is on the radio, so I'm out of here.
