Not like a Matilda I hope.



The Tank, Infantry, Mk I, Matilda I (A11)[2] was a British infantry tank of the Second World War. Despite being slow, cramped and armed with only a single machine gun, the Matilda I had some success in the Battle of France in 1940, owing to its heavy armour which was proof against the standard German anti-tank guns. However, it was essentially useless in an attacking sense, as its weak armament made it toothless in combat against enemy armour, and the tank was obsolete before it even came into service.[3][4] The Battle of France was the only time the Matilda I saw combat.[4] The tank was cheaply built as the British government wanted each of the tanks to be built on a very restricted budget in the build up to the Second World War.[4] It is not to be confused with the later (more successful) model Tank, Infantry Mk II (A12), also known as the "Matilda II", which took over the "Matilda" name after the Matilda I was withdrawn from combat service in 1940. They were completely separate designs.

Its a English thing,watch a Haka then watch our Morris dancers.

Grown men dancing with handkerchiefs and loaded up on Scrumpy cider is much more scary.


Though Dreadnought has to be one of the greatest names for a ship ever.
