    Yes they are all villages in England BB. Friendly and Jump are in Yorkshire, Beer is in Dorset and Great Snoring is close to Little Snoring (in Norfolk - where else). So we're looking for a quirky sounding place name which sounds like a royal beast of burden (or two rock groups put together)

    In a kind of a way yes Yorkie - as well as being a legendary castle there is also an electoral ward of this name and the place looked for is within this. Now all we need is the location and the village. Actually only 7 miles from a football club which the Horns have, unfortunately, never beaten.

    The only club I can think of that we've never beaten (apart from all those we have never played) is Yeovil.

    No nothing to do with Tintagel (wrong county). A village which sounds like a royal beast of burdon (or two rock bands put together) - contained within an administrative unit which sounds like a legendary castle. Geographically close to a football club which we have never beaten (BB has identified which),

    That's the place BB. A village of about 900 inhabitants contained within the electoral ward of Camelot (along with the villages of West Camel and Wales). about 7 miles north of Yeovil in the proximity of the castle ruins of Cadbury Hill (the oldest castle ruins in England). Over to you.

    Phew - I'm not sure I can follow that one...

    How many clubs have had the honour of having played against Watford in each of the top four divisions - and who are they?

    Without looking it up...
    Notts County
    Huddersfield Town
    Swansea City
    Brentford

    Would love to know how many but not necessarily which ones I've got right. If it's anything like my predictions... <doh>

    No - we've never played them in the fourth tier. I do remember going to the Kennel a few times when they were in Div 4 - to mock & jeer and join forces with their opposition's fans. Mainly midweek night matches against London opposition.
