Certainly.

Wembley is an area of northwest London, England, and part of the London Borough of Brent. It is home to the famous Wembley Stadium and Wembley Arena. Anciently part of the parish of Harrow on the Hill in the county of Middlesex, Wembley formed a separate civil parish from 1894 and was incorporated as a municipal borough in 1937.

When was it annexed by the Persians?

Alexander the Great arrived in Wembley in33 b.c. (or was it 333 b.c.?). Until recently, twin precast concrete "tower" sarcophagi proudly guarded the entrance to this great arena. These were looted and destroyed as far back as 2000 a.d.

I worked with Cleveland Bridge doing coating inspections on the "iconic" arch Stan - I was given a Wembley pass with "Wembley Stadium - Project Manager" written on it. I used to kid people on that I was the manager of the entire construction project. A lot is lost in translation and time but it caused a chuckle or two. Maybe two is pushing it.

Played guitar and harmonica with Sonny Boy Williams and Howling Wolf. Met the Queen,  Played poker with Stratford Johns and John watt while working as an extra in Z Cars. Got deported from Turkey for snogging a Turkish movie star. a recording of me playing Cocain  Blues was used as the backing track in a BBC Wednesday Play and I was one of a group of people who Raised £3.6 million to build a purpose built Market hall in Covent Garden and
overturn a Ken Livingstone decision made in county hall.
