    So this football team still plays on the island (and I later returned for several visits in this place).

    Anybody remember these?

    This Church Rotunda was being constructed when I was at this place in 1970, dubbed the pregnant church!

    Right on, away you go - was called the pregnant church since over a 25 year period, the new rotunda in Xewkija was built around the existing church, which was then demolished.

    I was watching Canada v China in Women's World Cup play in Edmonton on the big screen HDTV - Canada very lucky to win 1-0 with a late rather controversial penalty shout. Next Sat my daughter is treating me as a Father's Day gift to a couple of WWC matches n Moncton, NB (2 hours away) - England v Mexico followed by France v Colombia.

    I was just about to ask the same thing? Anagram? Football team?

    The only team I could come up with is Forest Green (tangled up?)

    Haha - was looking for some obscure Norwich player for a while, til I realised what the clue meant!

    Nice easy one for tonight....

    Is this a rapid bank? (6, 9)
