Admit your insight - things you knew all along that have now become public knowledge.

Hastings and Battle are in East Sussex, so I believe you are predicting that the county boundary will be moved westwards?

Except the Norman French army will invade via the Channel Tunnel then get lost in Kent as things have changed in the Millennium since.

They'll probably lose the will to live at the inland border depot at Ashford. Knocks the Maginot Line into a cocked hat.

My knowledge of geography could be better.

The conquest of England is delayed due delays at passport control and custom checks.

I wrote a report just over a decade ago that the inventory of medical devices we would be maintaining would grow to around 50,000 assets and that a further 4,000 of them would be connected to the network.

Our asset list now sits at 50,262 and 4,310 addi assets are now connected to the network.

This is probably more like a premonition than a prediction.

One morning, many moons ago, I woke up and asked my (now ex) wife how her friend was. She asked why to which I replied it was following her car accident yesterday. Ex responded that her friend had not been in an accident and it was left there.

That evening my ex got a call from the husband of her friend to say friend had been in a car crash a couple of hours earlier and was ok but going to hospital for precautionary checks.

In the early 70s, when the two blade razor came out, I vehemently predicted that there'll be a b****y five blade razor soon - !
Bang on - !
Oddly, I've now gone back to DE razors and brush shaving soap. Better shave and recyleable 'waste products'.

I went from King's Cross to York on a train with broken down aircon that summer, and Inter City trains don't have windows that open.

Umm... Yes they did, even if it was just the droplights on the coach doors (you had to reach out and open the door from the outside for a start).

1976, probably a loco hauled service with either Mk1 or Mk2 coaches, although going on your description, most likely Mk2s.

The Intercity 125 (and Mk3s) also had yet to start on the East Coast (1980/81), so probably a 'Deltic' hauled train or similar.

Unless... Hmm, I can't sensibly think of any stock at the time that didn't have at least some opening windows, not until the Mk4s in the late '80s' anyway.

Skirting a bit close to NACA but sticking to the facts, around 2014 (I think) the Bollo fam were visiting some friends in the Netherlands. I’d gone for a ride with the gentleman of the house and we’d headed off towards Baarle Hertog, which is regarded as having one of the most complex land borders in the world.

Anyways, we got talking about attitudes to Europe and he told me about this ”Brexit” thing that was being talked about in the posh Dutch press. I’d never heard the term before but stated that if it came to a vote then we’d be out of the EU. My Dutch friend scoffed at the idea.

I remember in college creative writing I wrote a story where the UK left the EU and Scotland unilaterally declared independence.

At the risk of straying into the place of darkness, a number of the events in the story are eerily close to what subsequently happened; there was even a rushed trade deal with Japan when the UK left.

I remember being fairly sure the vote would go the way it did. I think that because I only came to the UK every year or two it was easier to see the direction of opinion.

I also wonder if there will be archeological digs at old rubbish dumps/landfill sites, etc.

This already happens, particularly at Victorian and Edwardian refuse dumps and at those on old military sites up to WW2 and later (not the military waste but the general stuff from living quarters, catering etc.)

 

[Accy cyclist]

Hasn't happened yet, but I predict huge traffic jams, in Kent, around Hastings and Battle in the year 2066.
There will also be centenery celebrations throught the UK to celibrate some footie match that our ancesters last won.

I was only thinking the other day about the 1000th anniversary of the Battle Of Hastings and will I see it. If I do I'll be 1 month short of my 106th birthday. Will I make it I wonder. 🤔
