    Cheers Yorkie. A quick one because I can't think of anything else. Which is the shortest word in the English language to contain the letters a,b,c,d,e, and f, ?

    Cheers Yorkie. It is well known that there is a slight difference between the British and the American mile. The English Medieval mile was 1,900 metres (using a modern comparison) - Elizabeth 1 shorted this to its present distance. My question - what are the shortest, and longest miles ever used in the British Isles ?

    Pure guess

    Shortest = metric mile

    Longest =. Nautical mile

    Good guesses Dave, but unfortunately wrong. I should hasten to add that neither of these are still used.
