I didn't know Britain's were cannibals.
Was watching one of those history channel episodes about Rome invading Britain and they said they murdered an ate their enemy. The druids believed this an act of greatest devoutness and to eat his flesh beneficial.

Now that you know the ugly truth about the British, you better understand the saying "Bring out your dead!" (not to mention, a better understanding of the stereotype of bad teeth)
"Lose" is the opposite of "win." "Loose" is the opposite of "tight."

Well, here in the USA we had the Donner Party. And Alferd Packer.
As the Judge who sentenced Packer said:
"Stand up yah voracious man-eatin' sonofabitch and receive yir sintince. When yah came to Hinsdale County, there was siven Dimmycrats. But you, yah et five of 'em, goddam yah. I sintince yah t' be hanged by th' neck ontil yer dead, dead, dead, as a warnin' ag'in reducin' th' Dimmycratic populayshun of this county. Packer, you Republican cannibal, I would sintince ya ta hell but the statutes forbid it."
Needless to say, he has long since been a Republican hero.

Cannibals? I think you're talking about the Welsh, isn't it.

Without any further evidence I doubt that the druids practiced cannibalism.ORIGINAL: aaatoysandmore

But I assume those guys were trapped. It's eat errr human flesh or die (like that plane in the 70s in the Andes).
I am pretty certain I had read cannibalism existed in the British Isles. But not sure it had already disappeared by the time Cesar, or Claudius later landed there. So we are talking about some (or several) centuries B.C. IIRC of course [8D]

On the other hand I am sure that there are plenty of great historians that agree with my view.

Classic Red Dwalf line.

I was merely pointing out that although I like nothing better than a tender piece of human leg for Sunday roast (like that's a crime) at least I can spell.

Riding around on dragons works up an appetite!

Eh? No sir, I think something has gone amiss in the translation. We English ride around on horses slaying dragons - not vice-versa.
