Nelson's 200-year-old debt repaid
Lord Nelson never got to see the china set
A 200-year-old debt incurred by Horatio Nelson for a set of Royal Worcester china has finally been settled.
Nelson ordered the breakfast, dinner and tea set in 1802, but only part of it arrived three months after his death. The bill was never paid.
A Nelson memorabilia company handed over a cheque for �3,750 - the equivalent of the original sum plus interest - at St Paul's Cathedral.
Royal Worcester said new customers would not be given such generous terms.
'Honour preserved'
James Boddy, the owner of the company producing Nelson memorabilia, paid back the debt in front of more than 25 descendants of Nelson
Is this one in the eye for those companys who dont deliver on time( :~
