Really? I never knew that Okay. Next question. What is the town of Consett (the one up north, nearly in Scotland where ACS comes from) famous for? Clue: I'm looking for a particular 'first'.
Not googled this one honest ! My auntie lives in Durham so I've been there a couple of times. Consett was the first town in the World to have a Salvation army band.
It is also famous for being the birthplace of Wilkinson sword. In Shotley bridge some German settlers who were masters of steel and sword manufacturing formed the nucleus of the process and company which followed. There is an old pub called the crown and cross swords..... Which wilkinson sword adopt to this day as their logo. There's a QI...
