The Battle of Naseby was arguably the decisive battle of the English Civil War, and sqaundered any chance of recovering the north from its loss in 1644, or snatching victory at all. And made sure the Royalists would never be able to field an army of the same caliber and quality again. So what would have happened if Charles had been the victor at the Battle of Naseby, and sent Fairfax and Cromwell packing. Would it be remembered as the battle where Charles recovered the north and perhaps even went on to win the war? Or would such a battle merely delay the inevitable?
True, the King's army was defeated rather badly; but why was it unable to remain in the field as a fighting organisation? There had been other defeats of armies, on both sides, which had not ended the rebellion. The King had recently retaken Lancaster, seen at the time as a great blow to the rebels, so it seems that it couldn't be just a general perception that the tide of victory was flowing against the King.
Do your worst!
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
