It was meant as a provocation in regards to the definition of "victory". But then again I suppose you think it was a honourable victory..

Well the square, the preserved HMS Victory, the currency (up to quite recently), the Trafalgar day celebrations (widely celebrated on the 200th anniversary) , the beer... hmmmmmm beer etc, etc.
