    It used to be 10am - 6pm originally, but I think it’s 10am - 5pm now.

    No. This was intended to have a limited run to mark the 100th anniversary of the club, but it’s still going...

    I’ll give you that, BB. It’s the Watford FC exhibition at the Watford Museum. From a programme of the time:

    Just came here to add a clue for my question and found the question had disappeared - must have forgotten to hit the 'post' button...:emoticon-0111-blush

    What happened in Scotland in 1560 that was outlawed in England 200 years later - and outlawing it caused many English people to flock across the border?

    No - but you are loosely in the right area.

    The "flock across the border" bit was to the town of my birth - Gretna.

    The minimum age to be married without parental consent. Was (then) 21 in England , but in Scotland no such consent was necessary. Not sure if there was a minimum age though.

    Getting there, but not right. The age of consent in Scotland was 12 for brides and 14 for grooms - so when England outlawed this, age could well have been one of the reasons.

    But this was all sparked off by something that changed in Scotland in 1560 - something that wasn't really age-related, more procedural.
