Did you know…
The meaning of the phrase “TURN A BLIND EYE”. This phrase is said to be inspired by a famous episode in the Battle of Copenhagen in 1801. The British Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson was ordered by flag signal from the fleet commander to withdraw. Nelson deliberately put his telescope to his eye that had been blinded in an earlier battels and announced that he could not see a signal. He then led an attack that meant major victory for the English.
