We've Lost Cleopatra's Neale

The needle was given to the british by the ruler of egypt, who was called mohammed ali. He gave it to them as a thank you for winning the battle of the nile and the battle of alexandra against napoleon. But they waited 60 years, 59 years, until 18 78, when they said, suppose we'd better bring it over then they've given it to us. It seems churlish now. And then as soon as they try and bring it over, they lose it. You can actually go up to the sphinx and put your finger through a bomb hole in theha haha, tro, well, we've lost then everybody
