ORIGINAL: Yogi the Great So in the interest of keeping this thread going to 1,000 posts - What do you all think of Napoleon? [sm=00000622.gif] You must be following another thread to understand the cryptic comment. [:'(] warspite1 Well apparently, because I’m British and we all think the same and we all dislike Napoleon in a vicereal way, I think Napoleon was a bit of a naughty. Note, no other persons of British extraction need to pass further comment as apparently I’ve spoken for all of us (according to selected French lawyers who have provided legal opinion that we are all of exactly the same mindset). But, but... Wellington: "I used to say of him [Napoleon] that his presence on the field made the difference of forty thousand men." Asked who was the greatest general of his day, Wellington replied: 'In this age, in past ages, in any age, Napoleon'.
