Rupert withdrew to Shrewsbury, where a council of war discussed two courses of action, whether to advance towards Essex's new position near Worcester or march down the now open road towards London.
S

B
21:53Ben RansomHOST
Now, he wasn't a player for Shrewsbury Town, but he was in many respects the most important person at Shrewsbury Town Games because he owned... a vessel i won't call it a boat it's a vessel called a coracle which is essentially made of really lightweight wood stretched with sort of a kind of plasticky leathery kind of hull and it just about floats and there's a little bench in the middle of it and it's only a meter by meter or whatever square And he sat on it and he rowed it with one oar.
B
22:28Ben RansomHOST
And essentially, because the ground was right next to the River Severn, balls got kicked over the stand, out of the ground, they'd end up in the river.
B
22:35Ben RansomHOST
And his job was to run out with his little coracle, slide down this muddy bank, get himself in to the boat, vessel, paddle himself out with essentially an oar that was, it looks like half a cricket bat, it's that kind of shape, and retrieve the ball.

Yes.
E
9:57Elizabeth HeverinGUEST
And that's because these places are predominantly just money laundering funds.

It's in that area, isn't it? Is that asparagus? Is that asparagus around there? Or is that more sort of Shrewsbury, Shropshire way, isn't it? What are you talking about? There's an asparagus triangle, I think, isn't there? Not far from there.
