If we kick the US out of Five Eyes we can start calling it Four Eyes

Just found this! I thought it was lost forever!!!!

Til Walter Scott invented the myth that we had different words for animals (cow/beef) after they've been cooked because peasants spoke a Germanic language and their Norman lord spoke French. He invented this in Ivanhoe; the real reason is just that French chefs and dining was crazy popular in the 1700s and the names stuck. Prior to this the French and Old English names were just used interchangeably and no-one cared Source https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/s/NNFpC1vYcY who refs this video

just tried and failed to do soldering, even with a new tip on the iron I couldn't get the solder to flow, not sure what I am doing wrong?? Is the iron knackered?
