    The one I have is an update on his original, I'd guess that you are looking at Stan the Man, I'm looking at Stan Bowles, the Autobiography.

    Correct Roller, 10. Two thirds of three quarters is two quarters (a half) and twice a half is a whole, 1x10 = 10.

    They actually have a functioning power station...

    The UK's first dung-fired power station began production of electricity on Thursday.
    The pioneering £7m plant at Holsworthy in Devon will process 146,000 tonnes of slurry from 30 local farms every year.

    Methane gas from the fermented slurry will power the plant, Holsworthy Biogas, to produce electricity for the national grid.

    The process will also provide hot water for low-cost heating around Holsworthy, and organic manure for farmers to use on their land.

    It now appears to be under new management and is utilising a wider range of waste.


    Erm, no.

    I vaguely remember reading about it at the time, not far from where I stayed this summer.

    Anyway, try this one:

    In the fifteenth century a royal decree made archery practice compulsory for all men every Sunday. Which busy South London thoroughfare reputedly gained it's name from historically being a site where archery was practised?...
