    As no one seems to be able to get it, this was actually mentioned in the Sunday Times illustrated history of Football for 1975/76 season, quote 'Dan Tana, the Brentford Chairman, made a citizens arrest of a troublemaker at one of his teams home matches, He said "I was embarrassed so I nabbed the worst offender and handed him to the police."

    Ford Prefect was a car and the main character in Hitch hikers Guide to the Galaxy. What was the smaller, similar shaped Ford car known as?

    There was also Ford Popular (1957/62), which was usually 4 door and had different grill, but in all other aspects, identical to Anglia.

    Over to you Canary-Dave

    Sulphuric acid. :)

    Money for nothing? Composer Bernard Herrmann was credited with the musical score for a Hollywood hit film, even though there was no music at all in it. Which film was it?

    The Consul Classic had a cut back rear window and fins at the back. Was a popular car in it's day it would seem, not a car that lasted long though, and you never see them on the road now.

    Oh damn, you'll never guess what.

    You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to canary-dave again.

    There is some contention on the exact number. There are 28 listed as man made elements, but there is evidence that 8 of the elements may exist as very tiny amounts in the natural state, so over to you BB
