Very good Yorkie! I assume they would be arguing over whether or not the organisers of the cancelled Sheffield half marathon should refund the entrance fee.
Oh bloody hell - sorry all. Haven't been able to get on here this week. I can't think of a decent one and not sure when i'll get on next so the next person to come on can have the honour instead - or Yorkie can decide.
OK. I'll jump in here if no one minds. If you are turning off an AIS Transponder which you are legally required to have, who are you and where are you ?
The skipper of a boat and in port. AIS is the position finder for boats which talks to the nearest strand station to about 100km.
I knew that was too easy. As the Captain of a Ship you would also be entitled to turn it off when in waters at risk from piracy such as the Red Sea or Gulf of Aden. Over to you AK.
So you should have made the answer. What work did the only Englishman to have this position do before he did that work and who was he?
Nicholas Breakspear, aka Pope Adrian IV, he of Abbots Langley fame? I'm tempted to say brewer, but... I don't think he had any other career apart from the church - rose from canon to cardinal before being elected pope, then suffered the ignominy of being killed by a fly.
Yorkie had the job he did uniquely but I wanted the job before and who he was. BB is so close I have to give him the answer. Nicholas Brakespear was the only English Pope but before that he was the Papal Legate for Scandinavia and a cardinal.
No - I think Woolwich Arsenal were actually formed by workers at the Royal Arsenal Co-Operative Society. The club I'm thinking of originally comprised of volunteer soldiers, and took its name from the regiment.
