    A bit late Beth. Interesting guess, though. I really wouldn't have called Maddy Prior a rock legend.

    Who was Lollius Urbicus, and what was he responsible for building?

    Something over here, maybe. What did the Romans ever do for us?

    As you're over the border, I'll say Hadrian's Wall.

    That's the one Stan - built 20 years, and 100 miles further north than Hadrians Wall, along what is now the Central Belt. Not as well preserved as Hadrians, but some of it is still visible.

    All yours

    Dundee v Dundee Utd is the most local of local derbies in British league football, in that their grounds are closest together.

    QPR features in 3 of the top ten English local derbies. Which London Derby is the most local (not necessarily involving QPR)?

    if it's confined to league clubs it must be Fulham against the second club in Fulham (ie. Chelsea).

    Correction to that - I forgot about Wet Spam's new home, if you can call it that. West Ham and Leyton Orient ?

    Yes
    And it’s Fulham Chelsea, beating Spam Orient by 0.02 of a mile.

    Cheers Stan. Ok. Which people can be ordered by their boss to start growing a beard in June ready for a special day in July ? (If they don't have a beard already that is).

    Hipster barristas in some high-brow coffee shop on Kings Road? <laugh>

    Is it sailors? Seem to remember something about submariners and beards, although have no idea what June & July have to do with it.

    Not sailors Steels. Together with the full beard they are compelled to carry an axe as well.

    Lumberjacks in felling season in Canada. No shaving because it’s not masculine enough.
