I think it's Cambridgeshire, probably Holme, which is below sea level. -

I'm a huge fan of the films and knew this straight away. The fact that I haven't gone back in time to before you posted may be taken as proof that time travel isn't real ;-) -

Thanks :-) while I was googling foodstuffs named after places - what sort of food is a Norfolk Biffin? -

Spogs in that case :-) I was mis-remembering that they were named after a place, similar to, but obviously not, Pontefract cakes. Guess I was thinking of something else -

I don't know the name either, but feel free to send me all of your unwanted pink-and-blue-bobbly-bits. (I guess that's my guess) -

Thanks for the ding. It's doubly apt as I have family over that part of the world. Next question, on March 28, 1979, a nuclear disaster occurred in the USA in a place, also named after a distance. Name that place... -

I'm sure I heard on QI sometime that it was Antarctica, although that would fly in the face of Optimist's reasoning? -
There's going to be a little disagreement on this, but I guess our approach is "Does my log tell the cache owner/future finders any information about whether the cache might have problems?" If the answer to that question is no, because we know didn't look in the right place, or didn't look at all because of muggles, then I guess it would be a note. If you'd gone all the way to the top of the tree and still not found it, then I'd log a DNF. so in your case it'd probably be a note. That said, it's really a personal preference, and I wouldn't criticise a logger on one of my caches if they'd taken a different approach.

PM sent. Thanks SC. I think I'll ask a different question. The answer was that Jeremy Clarkson's parents owned the company that made the first stuffed toy Paddington Bear (this was in the early 1970s when Jeremy was a child) they gave their children prototypes to play with, so Jeremy owned the first ever Paddington bear toy. New question: What was the name of the human family Paddington lived with in the stories? -

Interesting story. I cant take part in this as I have googled the answer. SC, seeing as you know the answer, have I pitched this one too hard? A clue for everyone else: this doesn't relate to his adult life. -

Thanks One of those things I thought I'd heard somewhere. I'd have felt very silly if I'd been wrong Next question is on a slightly different tangent: What connection does Jeremy Clarkson have with Paddington Bear? -

Thanks for the Ding and apologies for the delay in questioning... Next question..... Laura Dern, Sharon Stone, Carrie Fisher, Jamie Lee Curtis, Melanie Griffith and Brooke Shields were all reputedly under consideration for which role, ultimately played by Linda Blair? (There is a link!!) -
