Star Turn on 45 Phoenixes

Post by Weyland »

A very guessable one to start off with then: How many people write into the offices of I'm Sorry, I Haven't a Clue each year asking for a copy of the rules to Mornington Crescent?

There are, of course, two possible answers to this question. ;)

Right first go! :shock:

The other answer you could have given was, of course, "Mornington Crescent".

Over to you.

it is actually only one person but i wrote to them 200 times :o ops:

should have saved that luck for the lottery.
never mind.

okay, i have a friend in bideford which is a town served by only one bus route. (it is labelled route 1 which i find inordinately funny).

anyway, what is the highest number bus route in the nation's capital?

Seeing as Stu said 700, and we've also had 701, I'll try 699. ;)
