Yep!!
Didn't invent the auto, nor the assembly line, but did create a manufacturing process that allowed autos to be made cheaply.
My Grandfather worked as his chief go-for and, though brilliant in a lot of ways, a racist jerk also.

It’s none of my business what people say and think of me. I am what I am and do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. It makes life so much easier.

Re: History Challenge
It looks remarkably like Atkinson, but I think it's Charles II (unless it's been very carefully photoshopped).
2 is Palin and kevin Kline in Fierce Creatures.
Unfortunately I don't have time to dwell on the connection...

Re: History Challenge
^ Certainly the Goodies, Palin and Kline, but the movie is "A Fish Called Wanda"....... need to think about the connection.

Re: History Challenge
Well not too bad so far between you all
The Goodies
Michael Palin and Kevin Kline in "Fish Called Wanda"
King Charles II of England
Now....what is the history connection between all three?

They were all ordered to be beheaded.
Woke up this morning breathing that's a good start to the day.
Re: History Challenge
I'd hoped it was going to be something to do with the Goodies Lancashire martial art of ecky-thump but I can't tie Charles II into that from any direction!

Re: History Challenge

Re: History Challenge
Kline sticks chips up Palins nose but don't know the connection.
