This is a picture of Glen, Anna, Napoleon Bonaparte, and Horatio Nelson. Glen and Anna are teachers at the Abbey and the Ailwyn, respectively, and Friday was their last day. So, they decided to hold part of their going away party at the Jolly Sailor. Friday also happened to be Trafalgar Day, commemorating the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. It is considered to be the most important naval battle in the history of Britain. The French attacked a British blockade in hopes of amalgamating the French and Spanish navys. (The British blockade was there to prevent this from happening.) If Napoleon could do join the two navys hewould hold the majority of the Naval power in Europe and then be able to conquer Britain. I think the guy on the left is suppose to be Napoleon (a far stretch if you consider his appearance but the man gave a damn fine performance . . . on the lines of Al Pacino in Taxi Driver) and the guy on the right is suppose to be the British Admiral Nelson (again, I don't think he looks much like the original Nelson but whatever).
