    It is indeed Clapton FC Yorkie. They have been playing at the delightfully named 'Old Spotted Dog Ground' in Forest Gate continuously since 1888. As an aside they were also the first British club to play in Continental Europe - against a Belgian XI in Antwerp in 1890. Now something of a cult club in the St. Pauli tradition. Over to you for another question which has us googling for hours <laugh>

    It's probably not, but I'm guessing at the BBC wardrobe department, particularly the area where they have the outfits for Strictly Come Dancing.

    Anything to do with the Regent St robbery in which the six robbers got away on a single moped?

    Must have been quite a sight...

    Which bird, which unfortunately shares a feature with cows, is the only bird that may ever need a dentist?

    I vaguely remember seeing on TV a goose with teeth on its tongue - is it that?

    A peculiar bird is the pelican
    It flits from bough to bough
    It builds its nest in rhubarb tree
    And whistles like a cow

    Its beak may hold more than its bellican but it has no need for a dentist.

    And I'm not sure that rhubarb grows in Sth. America...

    The feature shared with cows is the diet - vegetation which is digested with the aid of bacteria and microbes.

    You wouldn't willingly want to walk under one...

    The only bird I can think of which is in any way like a mammal in its eating habits is the hoatzin (found in S. America), sometimes called the ''stinkbird'' because of the fermentation of its food. Can't think of the dental connection.

    That's the one. The dental connection is that it's the only bird born with teeth...

    Over to you.
