578126 2007-08-08 07:41:00 :help: I have been given this quizz with answers relating to London. The quizz was devised in 1996. The question we can't answer is:
"Where did we walk as a happy band?"

Other questions include:
"What happened in Berkley Square?" Ans. A nightingale sang.

"What would we do down Lambeth Way?" Ans. The Lambeth Walk.
You get the idea....

Any ideas about where we were walking?

TIA - as always!!

578127 2007-08-08 07:53:00 I am pretty sure that the Spice Girls arrived on the scene - they were just coming out when I was over there between 1995-1997 winmacguy (3367)
578128 2007-08-08 08:20:00 Thanks for your reply. :)

I'm not sure though - I think the answer might be 'older' than that. It will certainly be a 'well known' statement (even if we all can't think of it!).

578129 2007-08-08 08:23:00 Actually it was more of a suggestion than a possible answer although either way it was probably rather wide of the mark. winmacguy (3367)
578130 2007-08-08 08:42:00 Abbey road? joemac (9739)
578131 2007-08-08 08:46:00 Yes - but why? Is there something that goes with that? A poem, a song perhaps? I'm VERY greatful for ANY suggestions - but I need to see the reason... :)

I'll have to go and get ready for the 'morrow now. I'll check in the morning if you have any more ideas! Again, thanks.

Agincourt? As in Henry V, St Crispin's Day speech (Shakespeare).

from Henry V by William Shakespeare:

But no reference to London

And on the Abbey road front there seems to be very little reference to happy and this is a little vague.

"Album Notes:
Not the last Beatles album to be released, but the last to be recorded. It marked a return to the happy, upbeat songs the band recorded in its early days, despite the open hostility that had developed between band members."

Yep . Definitely " we happy band" at Agincourt .
But not sure about the walking . Those kingly types had horses . . .

And where is Agincourt's location compared with London?

PS . I see joemac's also wondering about the geography .

PPS . And now I see it's :"We happy few, we band of brothers" - not a happy band .
