    All yours Frenchie. The first literary mention of chips is in the Dickens novel 'A Tale of two cities'. The first mention of deep fried fish is in Oliver Twist. The clue of Joseph Malin was that he was the first to open a fish and chip shop in the East End of London in 1860. Over to you.

    Very easy one as I will be out most of tomorrow. Which ex Watford player was born on the 13 July 1953?

    One of my favourite players. When he hit the ball 40 yards straight to a Watford player it was 'long ball'. When Hoddle did it it was 'a wonderful pass'. Bah!
    Anyway, I only entered the quiz to be able to ask my favourite football quiz question...

    Who were the first father and son to play in the same team in an English league game? When and where too?

    Alex Herd, a league and cup winner with Manchester City, played alongside son David for Stockport County on the final day of the 1950/51 Third Division North season.??

    Or even 'wind-assisted' or 'freak goal' - like this one at Rotherham (described as from the half-way line when it was clearly further than that). I like this video as I can be seen leaping around like a demented frog as the ball hits the back of the net..

    I've been out of the U.K. For so long I am only guessing. Is is Mordor's Suits for the conservative gentleman? Or Power Dressing by Göttagetuprung? Or Circles Organic clothing?

    Sorry.
