    I'll take a guess at grass - ie. as in the development of tennis courts, grass, acrylic, clay, silicon rubber ?

    Yes it is grass. It is the finishing surface of the four grand slam tennis tournaments. Grass third on the list. All yours

    It's a 'coiled metal sort of spring' toy which sort of jumps and hops.

    Whilst we're waiting for Yorkie, here's one to test your research skills...

    In second spot on the table below is my hometown Rugby League team. There is (an admittedly obscure) link between them and Watford FC - what is it?

    Hint - it's not me.;)

    Pure guesswork now. Their leading try scorer was Heath Eggleston. Could he be a relative of Tommy Eggleston?

    I don't know about that to be honest, but suspect not. The link has something to with a coach and his 'heritage' rather than a player.
