COCKS AT DAWN



In early 19th century Britain, the Foreign Secretary, George Canning, was in dispute with the Secretary of State for War and the Colonies, Lord Castlereagh, over the deployment of British troops. Canning wanted British troops deployed in Portugal, but Castlereagh wanted troops sent to The Netherlands.

The dispute was eventually, and incredibly, resolved by a duel between the two government ministers, which was fought on 21 September 1809 on Putney Heath in London. George Canning, who had never before fired a pistol, missed badly. Lord Castlereagh, an experienced shot, wounded his opponent in the thigh.

Have you ever had a fight as an adult?
Have you ever had a fight with someone over someone else?
Have two people ever had a fight over you?

No, I'm not a fighter! If I have any disagreements, it's in word only.
If they want it bad enough, they can just have it.
Hmmmmm Interesting thought! Might be entertaining!

Like you, I'm not a fighter and, if I was, I would lose all the time.
The only fighting I like are the fights in ice hockey. xx

Thanks for your post.
Something tells me they're going to make up after their duel!
