    @themadvix - agreed - wasn't quite sure what the game added...
  • Ed, it's clearly all your fault then that I am being asked questions about the Roman Empire, because you men are apparently obsessed with it 🤣🤷‍♀️! Now I have added to the gender stereotyping, by being a woman that only thinks about it a few times a year 🙄

    One of the options was "daily"!

    Who would think of a Roman emperor daily?  Well other than to wonder why they weren't assassinated.  But I am far more likely to think of the odd current president in the same way.  I can see why I don't do these surveys.

    I've just realised that I'm guilty of talking about the Roman empire the other day. Was complaining to DD1 about the state of a road and pointed out that there are still Roman roads and bridges in use in Europe. In fairness, she loves a wee bit of history :D
