    No - my red herring did work after all...

    Have to admit to a slight error - I should have said 'at home'...

    I was going to go for Grimsby but do you mean we've played them 70 times at home?

    Not Grimsby - and over 70 times at home. In fact our home record against them reads

    P77 W29 D19 L29 For 104 Against 104 - GD 0

    - surprising given the number of high scoring matches there have been between the two...

    A clue - they have probably had more obnoxious managers in recent years than any other club in history. :)

    No - but they have shared one of the obnoxious managers...

    I think the only premiership side we have played that often must be QPR ?

    I should add here that the women are actually highly bred ladies. Actually you could take 2 of them away and replace them with a cock and hen if you wanted.

    I knew a Lady Godiva was a fiver and a Cock 'n' 'en was a ten, but Wicker Basket was new to me.
    On my research into a wicker basket I found that (apparently) fifteen quid is also called a Commodore. I've never heard that either, but I did like it. Three times a lady. <laugh>

    £15 is me answer, china. ;)

    You've cracked it Andy - so the answer would be 3 ie. three Lady Godiva's. Fifteen quid is also known as a wicker basket. The origins are not clear but it's thought that the wicker basket has something to do with flower selling. Over to you.

    You are all very kind. Too much time in the rubber dubs of our capital city, I reckon. ;)

    OK, who calls their friendly rival "You old sea dog!" and, a long time prior to that, used to drive a massive, but not exactly masculine, Rolls Royce?
