So yesterday the Bayeux tapestry was transported, and because of the chatter about it I learned a couple of things. The best being that there exists a replica in Reading. https://www.readingmuseum.org.uk/blog/breaking-bayeux-code-fine-details-britains-bayeux-tapestry so all you Brits, skip the lines and stroll at leisure.
Second I had forgotten all about it, but online you can zoom in and explore also at your liesure:

Third is the most funny bit and is about penises. The replica in Reading, being sown by Victorian women has the human penises neatly covered by pants.
