Sadly, they've fallen out of favor. Thoughts?

You didn't expect a real reply, did you...I'm trying to save you from British retaliation. You've pigeon-holed them here, it's not 1478. They offer more to the world than just castles, fish and chips. What, I don't know...but they do.

Emergency fact;

The now demolished Liverpool castle (Derby Square Victoria Monument, now) had a moat, which still exists as the cellars of the surrounding buildings. There was also a secret escape passage to the (then) banks of the Mersey which is now Goree. It still exists and runs along the buildings under James Street.

There's a replica in Rivington in Cheshire.

I'm locking this to stop a huge "oat" related thread surge, however - all fellow scousers should read my quoted post here. For interest.
