It would be historic if I came back without booze and fagsOriginally posted by mudskipper View PostI don't think a walk to the shops could be described as historic in that sense, as the purpose of the walk was to get booze and fags, not historical culture.

Thanks for your thoughts. Like so much in English there are shades and nuances and I have it solved now.
Changing "walk" to "event" wasn't too helpful, sorry Suity, but I do appreciate the thought. And you misspelled "semantic"
It's my opinion that a walk can be historic if the walk I will do will go down in history, or if the walk has already gone down in history and I'm repeating it. I'm 50/50 with MS that a walk can also be historic if there is lots of historical stuff along the way.
Ta muchly!Comment

That seems to have settled the meaning of "historic walk".
So now what is a British POW camp? Is it a camp in Britain for foreign POWs, or a camp overseas for British POWs?

I thought that too - an historic walk, but when I googled it, it suggested that "a" is correct if the H is pronounced.Originally posted by Zippy View PostI think 3) was an historic walkComment
