Please let this letter to the Times be true (read until the end)
Prompted by the revelation that the phone number for the Midland Bank in Hastings used to be Hastings 1066, comes this letter to the Times today.
It’s nominative determinism in action, folks!
And just in case you don’t believe that Midland Bank story …
@DrJaninaRamirez @thehistoryguy when I worked for Midland Bank back in 60s Hastings branch phone number was 1066

It’s double sourced, it must be true.
