    Great Britain are the reigning Olympic cricket champions. They beat France in 1900 and cricket hasn't been represented since. The British team was actually Devon and Somerset Wanderers, by another name. FACT.

    Stig,(sorry I have trouble with quotey things), the camera was even then an old Practica and I had just put a new film in it. To do that you had to alter the settings so that you could roll the film on.: unfortunately I forgot to re-set everything before taking the next shot (Killer/March Jnr), the setting it was on could over-ride everything , even the lens cap! Still use that camera occasionally but learned a lesson that day and havn't done it since.

    Now that's fascinating, I've never heard about it before and you prompted me to look it up.

    May or not be true, but great story.

    If you draw a straight line between the the top of Shooter's Hill and the Ural Mountains, there is no land between those two points that is higher. FACT.

    That's why the Ruskies kept their nuclear arsenal hidden behind the Urals and we kept the Woolwich Arsenal hidden behid Shooter's Hill. CONJECTURE.

    Alan Turing was gay, when it was illegal to be so, so he committed suicide by eating a cyanide-laced apple, despite the fact that apple pips contain cyanide. Both are facts. FACT.
