Well, I'll give it to you. The link is that WFC's nickname was 'The Brewers' ( as Benskins owned the Ground) , and Burtom Albion' nickname is .... 'The Brewers'.

Whoops - desperately trying to think of a question I haven't asked before...

Which was the first football club in the UK?

Bit of a misleading one this because some rugby clubs called themselves just ''football clubs'' - the oldest could have been the foot-ball club of Edinburgh in 1824 ? Or Dublin University football club (1854 and thus then UK) Guy's Hospital football club was also very old (1840s)

Well the word Football means different things to different people - eg, in Oz you actually have to remember where you are before using it. It usually refers to any of three different codes, Union, League or Aussie Rules - all known as Footie.
But, misleading or not, the first is generally recognised as being The Foot-Ball Club of Edinburgh... Over to you.

Cheers BB. Where do tug boats have to cross an international border every day of their working lives to bring large ships into port ?
 
Once you have been through part of a neighbouring country to get there - in the port you will find the biggest coffee storage site in the World (300,000 tonnes) - though more famous for diamonds. The World's oldest printed newspaper also was published there 400 years ago.

I guess that makes it Antwerp?

Antwerp it is BB. There is no access to the port from Belgium - only through the Westerscheldt which is in the Netherlands. The water is very shallow with only one gully possible for container ships so the tug boats and river pilots have to cross between Belgium and the Netherlands every day of their working lives - the only place in the World where such a condition exists. Over to you.
