    And there's an idea for another film to watch - Hugh Grant's The Englishman Who Went Up A Hil But Came Down a Mountain. About a pair of rotters from England who tried to downgrade a Welsh mountain to a hill.

    Between Neen Sollars and Coreley. What has that got to do with Jim?

    Neen Sollars and Corley are two villages roughly equidistant from Bromsgrove.

    Haven't a clue who Jim is though...:(

    Ah yes. Jim is the council worker responsible for keeping Bromsgrove roads flowing. The problem is the ting road is so confusing, that people enter it and cannot find their way out. So once a month or so Jim goes round the ring road collecting all the bodies of people who expired in the last 12 months on the ring road. The first bodies he collected came from the villages of Sollars and Corley. Simples.

    I'd give it to you for that - but, unfortunately, you have to wait for andy to stop doing his A Level computing...

    Whatever you’re smoking during lockdown, JTB, it seems to be working very well for you. ;)

    Not Jim the council worker, but I think we’d all like to thank him (soon to be her?) for all the efforts he (she) is making to keep the roads around Shropshire open.

    No.
    Yes. What’s inbetween (deliberate missing of a space, there) them? And what is that to Jim?

    A quick map perusal then Google search.

    Find the two villages on the map. In between is another place. Google search that with ‘Jim’.

    I'm assuming this has something to do with The Inbetweeners, which I've never watched & know nothing about?

    Looking at a map, there appears to be a village called Bell End - was one of the characters called Jim, who was a bit of a bell-end? :)

    Good try! It has a connection to ‘The Inbetweeners’, yes, and the bit in between is:

    OK, Milson is the village in between. If you Google Jim and Milson, you find that Channel 4’s most-watched comedy ever, ‘Friday Night Dinner’, has introduced a new dog, Milson, for one of the main characters, Jim. Jim’s dog Wilson died in the last episode of Series 5 and his replacement, Milson was viewed by a record 4.3m viewers on his entry to the sitcom (well worth a view if you haven’t so far). The Inbetweeners link is Simon Bird, who is in both series.

    Against which football club have Watford FC completed the most ‘doubles’ (i.e. home and away wins in the same season)?

    No, duggie. We have completed three doubles against Arsenal, the same number they have dished out to us. The club I’m referring to have been beaten H & A by us fourteen times, and lies a far way west of Arsenal.
