Well done Yorkie, two of the great Doyens of Cricket history!
Over to you!
I guess all those years hoarding cricket scores and replaying matches on subbuteo, and sitting in the rain at Lord's have paid off

Going by the vehicle number plate, is it somewhere in Australia? Federal Government cars there all have the 'Red Zed'...

I know that a Celtic ambulance went to Malawi - one of my colleagues supports them and mentioned it.

Yes will done Cologne.. I spotted two of these in the port at Mytilini. Both impounded and unused.. A sad indictment of uncoordinated aid...
Cheers Yorkie. Which are the 4 most popular pub names in England ? Also, for a bonus, which is the oldest of these and why ?

I'll give you that Yorkie. Of the four the oldest is the White Hart - at least as a pub sign. In 1393 Richard the 2nd made pub signs compulsory as identification for the official ale taster (what a wonderfull job !!!) and his symbol was a white hart - the other 3 came in at a later time. I don't actually know which is the oldest pub in Britain - but I once visited one which claimed to be the smallest. Can't remember the name but it was in Bury St. Edmunds.
I think the Trip to Jerusalem in Nottingham may be the oldest pub - it dates back to 1189 apparently. A Marston's pub of I remember rightly.
Not sure if it is actually the oldest pub in Jersey, but the current pub that has held a pub licence longest is The Foresters in the west of the island. A few years ago I used to go there every week with some then colleagues to have dinner then take part in the pub quiz until that became so popular that our plates hadn't been cleared away before the quiz started. It is a mere youngster compared to the pubs mentioned above, as it's held it's licence sine 1717 - 300 years this year.
