“if you look at where the Romans got to they had a really hard problem once they got to Wales and never fully conquered it then you go further up uh and you get to Yorkshire they they didn't do as well on east side of it and then you go all the way up to Scotland they never went East of the uh west east of the grampians and then when you look at what the Vikings did it's pretty much that same line”
