    Chantilly is the answer. Chantilly cream, Chantilly horse racing centre, and the expensive silk Chantilly lace.
    Over to you BB.

    Thanks ofh.

    Which former Watford player with a distinctly Scottish surname was transferred to Spurs and made his debut for them in a drawn match against Watford - a debut which turned out to be his one and only appearance for Spurs?

    Was the debut a league match?

    Also, can we assume this was not in the era of the Premier League? (Tentative research tells me that, assuming the debut was a league match)

    It certainly wasn't a cup match and neither was it a Premier League match - by a long way.

    His surname is also the name of a historic area of Scotland.

    To help narrow it down, he was a war casualty - died at Givenchy-lès-la-Bassée and is commemorated on the Vimy Memorial.

    Anything to do with Michelle Mone recommending a company for a multi-million pound PPE contract before it even existed?

    Cheers yorkie.

    In 1975, the birth of a baby boy in the USA led to a 150 year-old mystery being resolved. What was the mystery and who was the boy?

    It certainly is - the blue-skinned Fugate family of Kentucky, who had lived in the remote Appalachian mountains for 200 years - a strange tale of inbreeding and recessive genes. Funnily enough, the cure was simple - those with the blue skin simply had to ingest methylene blue dye in pill form.

    Over to you.
