    Black pepper ? It was the most traded spice in the World, and was a highly priced luxury item in earlier times.

    I think that would be Medicine Head, whose vocalist John Fiddler moved on to Box of Frogs, the band comprising mainly of ex Yardbirds...

    That`s what I was looking for BB. Pink Floyd had actually already played a couple of the pieces from 'Dark side of the moon ' live - but then Medicine Head brought their album out and the members of PF briefly changed the name of their album to 'Eclipse', which they then changed back because the Medicine Head album flopped.

    I'm having a hard time imagining Lincoln City invading anywhere, so no....

    Think musically.

    The Dambusters march is played over the tannoy after every home match at Ibrox. At Lincoln the same is played after every goal - often accompanied by an air raid siren from the terraces. Is that the connection ?

    OK. Whilst on the subject of bombing raids - In which country is every citizen legally guaranteed access to their own personal bomb shelter ?

    I think Switzerland has enough bomb shelters for the whole population, but not sure that they are personal.

    Switzerland was what I was looking for Frenchie. Access to a personal bomb shelter is enshrined in Swiss law - not sure if they all actually have this though. Over to you.
