He's got her in his sights... ...and if Nottingham's most famous son, Mr Robin Hood had by some mysterious chance made the acquaintance of Coventry's lovely Lady Godiva, we're sure that they would have gotten on, despite them living some 50 miles apart! They would almost certainly have had a shared passionate interest in the unfair taxation of the poor for a start! As we all now know Lady Godiva's naked protest against her husband's unfair taxation of their townsfolk proved very successful as indeed did Robin's band of Merry Men.
