    Actually it has to be the Panama Canal which is NNW.

    It's the Atlantic and the Indian Ocean that meet at the south of Africa (at Cape Agulhas, rather than the Cape of Good Hope).

    If you asked me to translate them into Irish I wouldn't have a clue, but it's funny how the brain makes the connection when you recognise some of the words.

    Correct! Oddly they didn’t actually put in the answer to the question (Golden Plover) for 30 years. But much more importantly one of the participants in said debate was the magically monickered Sir Hugh Beaver

    What was your man, some kind of rapist or something, that was always trying to abduct Penelope?

    The "ant hill" vigilantes really should have brought whatever information they had to the authorities and allowed the police deal with the situation.
