+Dobunnis Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Finally one I could answer OK, we are off walking early (Cachewalker event) so I was hoping I would get a chance to set the question now (thanks Wilkenson family for the prompt ding) but any response will be in the evening... So... What is special or unusual about the theme tune to Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em? Remember no googling, etc, Helen Quote Link to comment
+keehotee Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 It spells out "some mothers do ave em" in morse code (I think) Can't remember who the composer was, but he died last year (or the year before?) and it was on radio 4..... Quote Link to comment

+keehotee Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Thanks for posting a cut n paste answer ...and as I'm even more of a pedant, and the question asked for Tors with a capital T, and not tors or manned waypoints, I'll think of another question! Quote Link to comment

+keehotee Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 (edited) Chocolate Bunny season started early. DING You can have the ding as this is the second time you've been so close. The week running up to Easter is "Holy week", and it over-rides all Saints Days that fall within it - so the RC church moved St P's day forward by 2 days (don't know if the board of Guinness had any say in the matter though ) Edited to add - sorry MrsB - was typing up the reply while you posted Edited March 30, 2008 by keehotee Quote Link to comment
