Hi Roz,

Are you talking about Queen Elizabeth I sending poor old Humphrey Gilbert out to set up shop in the Americas in the late 16th Century?



Because I didn’t go to Primary or Secondary School in the UK, I missed out on all of this part of human history. I’m doing my best to catch up.

One other thing, when you went to school did they differentiate between the two British Empires? Most people only talk about there being one. Which generally is our first hint about the depth of their study.
