Every single word of that passage from the famous speech is etymologically derived from Anglo Saxon. Except the last word. We had to borrow "surrender" from the French. [/FONT]
 
ww2 fact. The yanks really arent our friends..they considered bombing us out of the suez canal and Churchill had a mare trying to get them to join in. If it wasnt for the japs forcing there hand we'd be germanic (again).
 
I actually hate the yanks no knowledge of engineering or benefits to the planet unless it's stolen from another country.
Break them down and they really are a backward idiocy of a country

Not strictly true. The president at the time (can't remember who) Roosevelt I think wanted to join in, but public opinion was against it. Being a foreign war hundreds of miles away. Japan was of a group that included Italy and Germany, when the japs bombed pearl harbour it was the push needed to swing American public opinion.
 
The Angles, the Saxons and the Jutes, three Germanic tribes, settled in the period AD 400-550. Anglo-Saxon England was divided up into seven kingdoms.
 
Could explain my surname coming from Germany travelling through Europe

Does point to Germanic origins

If you read books on ancient Europe Germany does play big part

As of today: if you type "coventry plumbing and heating" into google search, you'll find my website
coventry plumbing and heating and coventry boiler services
and my facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/coventryplumbingandheating
are now both on page 1 Google SERPS for the search term entered.
I believe this to be the most pointless, pointless fact which will be entered on this thread today.

If you can change Vaillants that cheap you can do a few for me and I'll keep the rest of the money.

Nobody will google that phrase mate, or not as many. Tailor it to Coventry plumbers and plumber Coventry etc think about it you wouldn't put Coventry plumbing and heating if you was looking for a plumber

You send the cat into an existential and paradoxical turmoil.

It's an experiment Shrödinger considered before he shut the cat in a box proving, without doubt, it was possible for the cat to be alive, dead and every stage in between.

Electricians have never heard of Shrödinger's cat.......

The offers or only there as a "test" as is the site, as it's still being updated and upgraded. In fact nothing more than a skeleton site, as I'm still trying to get my head around Googles Algo which seems to chop and change on a daily basis. I could well find coventry plumbing and heating and coventry boiler services on page 3 google serps this afternoon!
Once I've sorted out just what offers can be placed thereon, I'll sort those tags and redo all the content in order to sustain good google serps...touchwood.

That's the one I'm working on now; however I cannot do what's required until December, as that's when the new easy to remember phone number and contact details will be placed on the site, plus all other new links and good content, which is king etc. My hands are tied until then.

The biggest problem , I see, we all face is: yell and yellow pages and such like being given priority by googles algo. That is one big hurdle, plus the parked sites which forward link information about local plumbers and such like.

Search for Coventry plumbers:
My facebook page is SERPS 7
WEBSITE SERPS 11
Would as well being on the moon with those SERPS results.

I could attain Google page 1 SERPS for the search term Coventry plumbers within a week or so, but this woud be pointless, as I'd only be passing work on to others. December/January is the time for that SERPS search result. As the site will be totally live then.

P.S. As a little tester, I've, only now, just changed a few pieces on site and now show for the search term "Coventry plumbing" not Coventry plumber, as I do not wish to be on page 1 now.
Google page 1 for the facebook page
Google page 3 for the www.coventryplumbingandheating.co.uk

SIMPLES.
