    Hard to say. Cheltenham was a thriving village, and if I'm not mistaken, the capital of the realm at the time when the Romans turned up and took control. Add to that the decimation via disease brought by the invading army it's really not possible to calculate an accurate death count at Cheltenham.

    If you have any further questions please subscribe to my bi-annual newsletter "Cheltenham Bi News".

    But please only ask real questions about historic Cheltenham. For some reason we cannot fathom we seem to a lot of questions about sexual ambiguity.

    You're very much mistaken. England didn't exist as a national entity when the Romans turned up and, as such, had no capital. The Romans established one where London is today, but Boudicca burned it down and the capital was moved for a while to Colchester. After the Romans had rebuilt London, they moved the capital back there. It was moved to Winchester in the time of King Alfred before being moved back to London in the 12th century.

    It's becoming pretty obvious that this King Shergar is not the King Shergar from BBC 606. The original was from Ireland, had an "army of followers", and seemingly knew his onions. The KS on here is from Trafford, Greater Manchester, is something of a figure of fun, and spouts more ****e than an elephant with diarrhoea.

    Do you think they do a 'deaf count' at Cheltenham?

    Because that's something you'd have to pre-organise. Not like you can stick a tannoy out asking everyone who is deaf to raise their hand.
