    Know this one...not sure how I missed it/forgot about the thread

    Braybook is the murder of 3 police officers in Shepherds Bush area, Cato Street is another police murder....Hans Street is by the side of Harrods, where 3 police officers were bombed by the IRA

    All sites of police memorials to fallen officers I would guess..

    Am away at a quiz tonight
    Back tomorrow.

    Which well-known hit record of the latter part of the 90s, which has been used as a theme-tune, was the subject of a plagiarism court case that cost the band 100% of all royalties?...

    Correct. The Verve used a small orchestral sample from the Stones song 'The Last Time' and Allan Klein, who owns the rights to all the Stones Pre-Sticky Fingers music took them to court saying the sample was longer than they had agreed, They agreed a 50/50 split on royalties but when Klein saw how well the record was doing he told them "100% or pull it out of the shops", Jagger and Richards were happy to agree as well. As Richard Ashcroft said, "They've just had their biggest hit since Brown Sugar"...
