It\'s a bad line service industry essay Up at the tiny Coldstream Museum they had built a special Flodden exhibition with a model of the battlefield. There was a weapons demonstration on the day I went: a man from the Hotspur School of Defence, dressed as an all-purpose soldier, hefted billhooks and twirled pikes, running his finger along blades to show the damage they inflicted and explaining how plate armour functioned. “The noise, that’s what’s really shocking,” said Neil on our cycle ride the next day, “I tell you, just two men in armour hitting each other with weapons makes an unbelievably loud clanging. Imagine hundreds. They stopped every half an hour so because they had to have a rest and drink. It seems such a strange idea.”
