Oh please, just one more?  This chap used concave lenses to correct myopia in 1451. Where would most of us be without that, eh?  |

Mary, obviously some people felt passionate about revisiting the 1450's, but we must look to the future now.  I think this is right  |

We're going to move on, of course. There'll still be plenty of antiques. You related to Richard Pace, Ian? Born 1482. |

History lesson continued: Richard III died at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485.  The 15th century was Quite Interesting. |
