    I couldn't stand them til I watched Val Kilmer playing Jim Morrison. The movie changed my perception of them.

    I was going by BoJo's threat last month of lockdown at Xmas if his rules are not followed, presumably implying food shortages - but nothing specifically mentioned. So those who enjoy traditional fare such as turkey?

    Funny that he also said that 'we'll get through winter together', obviously forgetting the probable damage to food supplies that January's Brexit is likely to bring...

    Cheers Yorkie - a football related question.

    What was significant about this League One table from a few years ago?

    No - Bolton, sitting in 5th spot, were promoted. The team immediately above them were relegated too.

    If it's any help, it's from the 2016/17 season - and relates to something that had previously caused a lot of angst.

    Was it the first time that AFC Wimbledon and Milton Keynes had faced each other in league games?

    You're so on the right track that I'll give it to you. It was the first time that AFC Wimbledon occupied a higher place in the League than the franchise.
