    Apparently he banned football at WGS in favour of rugby - or so an Old Boy told me.

    Dover has a population density of 4,994 inhabitants per square kilometre which is high but not the highest. The place I am thinking of has city status.

    I would have gone with London too... otherwise would have suggested Portsmouth or Southampton!

    Salisbury has too many fields to be that dense, and a pretty small population

    I' ll give it to you Kev because the answer is in there. Portsmouth is the answer - because of being very nearly on an island the density is 5,139 people per square kilometre - higher than that of Greater London. Over to you Kev. Sorry it took so long but I've only just got back from work.

    Cheers Cologne

    Ok, following on from the amazing comeback from the USA in the America's Cup, it got me thinking of one Watford game; Watford v Bolton. Gary Porter got a hat-trick but who scored the other?

    Ken Charlery. I remember it as it was my sister's 18th birthday and I came home from Uni for it (the birthday, not the match).

    You all seem to have forgotten about BB's question about fruit taking it's name from a city, I know the answer because he told me, anybody want a punt?

    That is correct Bloother, does that make it your turn or are we still on another question?

    I think it all stemmed from me being slow in setting a question after the Crime and Punishment answer, so BB set one, then I set one... sorry!!

    Barry got mine correct (Charlery was the right answer)

    Okay, The Emperor Nero, famous for fiddling whilst Rome burned is famous for playing an early form of which musical instrument often thought to have been invented much nearer home?
