    Isn't 'alphabet' the name of 'google's' owners, holding company or whatever ?

    In 1910-11 Marlow resigned from the Spartan League mid way through the season. They had applied to participate in the cup that season but perhaps there were off-field problems that led to their league resignation and their non-appearance in the cup.

    Why do I know the answer? No idea. i think I read it many years ago and, for some reason, remembered it. I would prefer to remember where I have parked the car in a car park but you don't always get what you want.

    My question:
    Which part of the United States drives on the left-hand side of the road and why?

    So, we all agree - it's the US Virgin Islands because of them Danes <laugh> If that isn't the answer, then it must, of course, be Little Rock Arkansas after pub closing time !

    Yes that's it Cologne, Little Rock, Arkansas.

    No it's the US Virgin Islands. The US bought them from the Danes when Denmark drove on the left. Apparently car hire insurance is very high because most of the tourists are from the US and they can't cope.

    Fight it out between you for the next question.
