This week, we discuss life in Nelson's Royal Navy and the qualities that made him a brilliant leader out on the water. There is also a sidebar on how impactful the French Wars were on the economy in Britain, and we take a look at how the state started to shift away from local control. That's all after my fact of the week all about the history of ketchup! Enjoy.
