    • In the wake of the demise of the MG Midget and MGB, there seemed little prospect for the MG badge beyond being used as a kind of 'GTi' badge for various Austins and Rovers. However, thanks to the determination of a few people, and an enduring affection in public hearts, the tale has had a happier ending. This title tells the story of that journey.

      Focusing on pivotal moments in 12th-century English church history, the author examines the collective actions and perspectives of bishops during critical crises in 1164 and 1169. Highlighting the often-overlooked role of the bishops alongside Archbishop Thomas, the text argues that their unified or divided responses could have significantly altered the trajectory of church policy. By analyzing these dynamics, the work aims to provide a more nuanced understanding of the ecclesiastical landscape and the shared beliefs among the clergy of that era.
