Thanks,ofh.
Watford programmes for the 1968-69 season increased in price, but the improvement in quality meant they were voted Programme of the Season. How much was the new price?
Pre-decimal currency, so I think it might have been about a shilling.

Bloody hell. My father-in-law, all 5’7” of him, used to drink 15 before he and I went on a 10 pint session, after which I would be fair plastered and have to leave him in the pub. Lovely fella.
Anyway, thanks, ofh. I believe Bill W’s claim was that he needed the alcohol to calm an arm tremor when playing snooker (after the drugs he had been taking for it were banned by the sport), hence it was a business expense. Died at 56. Shame.
Watford question. Whose 700 was ruined by No.8 and No.11?
The No8 and No11 are two of the greatest ever in WFC shirts, and very much associated with those numbered shirts. They ruined the opposition No.1’s day. And he was very well known to us, too.
I don’t want to leave you hanging, and as I have a very busy week lined up, I’ll give the answer and then someone can set a question - whoever is quickest!
The answer to “Whose 700 was ruined by No.8 and No.11?” is Pat Jennings. His 700th career match was for Arsenal against Watford, which the Hornets won 2-1, with Luther (playing No.8) and Johnny Barnes (playing No.11) scoring our goals.
Over to one of you...

If it helps, it was this century.That is a stinker! No idea yet where to even look.

That's it.
For reasons best known to himself, Crown Prince Dipendra Bir Bikram Shah ambushed a royal family gathering in 2001, opened fire and killed nine people, including his father King Birendra, before later turning the gun on himself. The moment Birendra died, Dipendra was declared king. He was later declared brain dead and his uncle Guyanendra was then declared king.
Over to you.

A Belgian farmer found the border marker stone in his way whilst driving his tractor - so he moved it, making Belgium bigger and France smaller?
