    A former Hornet is currently plying his trade with a recently elevated club whose previous name suggests a link with Royal Mail.

    Who is the player and which currently struggling club?

    Had forgotten about this...

    The player is a former international and Watford were his eighth club. His appearances were restricted by a fellow international of the same nationality.

    His current club are his fifteenth, and their stadium was purpose-built for the Commonwealth Games.

    Is it Craig Beattie ? I think he only played a few times for us but he now plays for Edinburgh City, formally Postal United FC.

    Not actually a man made waterway Yorkie. To show what precision work this is the average depth of this water is just over 10 metres yet the record draft for it is 15.3 metres.

    Over to you Yorkie. Access to the Port of Antwerp is via the Westerschelde and Schelde which means larger ships have to go through the Netherlands to reach Antwerp - both river pilots and tug boats use both sets of waters in their daily work.

    Was thinking that - I zoomed in to try and get a clue from which side the cars are driving on. Amazed to find that they all appear to be going the same way...
