Apologies that this is CI related. Jersey number plates are J followed by numbers, Alderney's are AY followed by numbers, but what form do Guernsey's take and why?
 
I think Guernsey numbers don't have a preceding letter but just go straight into the number (5 figures). Why I don't know - is it because they don't pay car tax ?
 
cologne, you have the first part right (although the number of figures doesn't have to be 5, it's just the newest number plates have that many just as the newest ones here have 6 but they have started to put JSY then the number on a few cars) but not the second part.
 
The GBG is the bit at the end of the number plate where a country code would go e.g. cars from France would have F, Italy I etc. We have GBJ. Alderney has GBG as it's part of the Bailiwick of Guernsey. The answer is that no British Overseas/Crown Dependant Territory can have the same format number plate as another one and Gibraltar got there first, although their country code is GBZ. I'm guessing the reason Guernsey got GBG is that they're nearer to the British mainland.

I think that as cologne got the first part correct, the next question should be set by him.
 
OK. This is a question for all of the royalists amongst you. All of you presumably know Henry V111, but do you also know Hennes V111 ? He is the present occupant of a line going back to Hennes 1, the most famous was Hennes 1V (Just thought I'd help). He appears in public to survey his domain on a weekly basis (mostly in Autumn and Spring) to great adulation from his followers. He also has one critical weakness which, in his exalted position, would normally be a problem. Who is he and what is his problem ?

That's funny, a cologne hornet talking about a cologne billy goat! hahaha
 
Well I know he is a goat with his own Facebook page and he is a mascot, I think, for Cologne FC.

Could it be that he doesn't like football?

He is indeed the mascot of FC. Cologne - you're close enough on the second, he likes the atmosphere and celebrations but is afraid of the ball (Like most of the present team) which can lead to occasional dramas on the sidelines. Over to you.
 
Name the ex-Watford player who played as a professional in all four Home countries and in all four Football League divisions in England.
