    OK. An autobiography was written by this person entitled The Wheel of Fortune.

    O.K. Successfully googled, but I wouldn't have guessed it otherwise - so I'll wait and see if anyone else gets it first.

    O.K. another geographical one. Which is the highest continually inhabited village in the U.K. (Distance above sea level) - Simply naming the county or area will do.

    Guess it is somewhere in the Lake or Peak District, but don't know where. I will say the Peak District.

    Along the right lines - if you think hard enough the answer will come in a flash. It was once in the same county as the highest football league stadium in England and Wales (highest above sea level).

    I really need the name of the village or county for this one because districts like the lake district or Peak district are too large. The football stadium helps a lot (If you use older county boundaries).

    The highest altitude stadium in England is Buxton FC's 'Silverlands'. The stadium is located 304 meters above sea level and can hold 2500 fans

    or possible Oldham. Lancs?

    It is indeed Flash in North Staffordshire at around 460 metres above sea level. There was some opposition from a village in Dumfries and Galloway but the ordnance survey measured the highest building in both and declared for Flash. It is only just in Staffordshire, about 3 miles from Buxton. West Bromwich Albion is the highest league ground and was once in Staffordshire. Over to you Yorkie.
