    We are all used to seeing rules of behaviour for passengers on public transport - regarding alcohol, tobacco, loud music etc. If you saw the following rules where would you be, when, and what was the name of the operating company ? There were 9 rules altogether, these are the first 2.

    1. Abstinence from alcohol is requested, but if you must drink share the bottle.

    2. You are requested to refrain from the smoking of pipes if ladies are present, however, chewing tobacco is allowed provided you spit it out in the right direction ie. with the wind.

    You'd quite probably be in a Wells Fargo stagecoach in America in the late 1800's - possibly even sitting next to Jim Hardie. ;)

    I think Bill Clinton's family had a cat called Socks Clinton. As to what he did - I guess he did what cats do, chasing mice etc. or did he misbehave in the White House ?

    No, not a cat. Certainly an animal, but Scottish, not American.

    VE Day, 8th May 1945, marked the end of WWII in Europe with the unconditional surrender of the German army - yet the Germans continued fighting in Europe for another two weeks after their surrender. Where and with whom?
