The Battle of Waterloo is actually so named because Wellington wrote his account of his victory from his camp at Waterloo. Napoleon never went near the Belgian town. Instead, he was actually defeated three miles away near the villages of Braine-l’Alleud and Plancenoit along the Mont Saint Jean Ridge.
Since then, the popular phrase means that anyone who meets their Waterloo suffers a major, life-altering defeat. Replacing that phrasevwith the two other villages doesn t have quite the same ring, nor would it scan neatly into a pop song!
So, why would a UK jury not reward a fantastically catchy song that also celebrates one of the greatest British victories in military history?
