Well done John. But if I may be allowed a quickie.....

VINCE ... you are banned from this one 'cos you were a surveyor Wink

Banning Vince was just in jest, but you know it from research, which is exactly how I found it through a great enjoyment of maps....

I seem to remember a quizzy a few months ago that I set (can't remember what it was) but Vince was kicking himself for days because he didn't get it Laughing

  I consider myself on the side lines here but yes I do know where we are, you can look it up on POE where I wrote a fact for the  location in question- but then you still have to know where to look.

                 I think we have seemed to have forgotten those add a fact to location . Must add a few more.

I'm pretty sure of this cos the company concerned has its base in Carlisle and my company brings airline provisions in from Germany to deliver to the airport. Eddie Stobart, and the airport is London Southend Airport All his trucks have two names ane they are always ladies names. You can apply to have names on a truck but the waiting list is quite long.

A girl should be two things, Classy and Fabulous

Who said that and what was probably their most famous Creation??
