On his death bed he asked me to swear that I would not let our glorious island nation be overrun by the continental types."</p> <p>Describing a typical day of defending against the forces of Napoleon Arthur said</p> <p>"Well I usually gets up about 5.am and has a quick check over the back fence to make sure there aren't any froggy gunboats on the horizon. If thats clear I head off to work at the local council offices.<br /> When I get home I do a bit of square bashing and my musket drill to keep my reloading slick and then I make sure my signal beacon is dry and ready to be lit.<br /> Then I normally have some cocoa, and watch newsnight before bed."</p> <p>I asked Arthur if he knew that the war had ended in 1815 and that Napoleon himself had died in 1821, he smiled and replied "My Great-great-great grandfather had a propaganda leaflet that was passed out at the time, but those French are cunning like that." </p>
