Torben holds the record of being the oldest Davis Cup player of all time... But is probably more remembered for being a hippie before it was defined. Lars a very decent junior chose a different path... Didn't turn out badly! Over to you for the next one! Quote Link to comment

+Aggrajag Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Freddie Mercury was born in Zanzibar. He was my childhood hero and I worshipped him. The mastermind question I do not know the answer to, although I bet I'd know if it was an Eggheads type choose one from three. Quote Link to comment

I think you're on the right track but I believe it's actually the only building in London with a thatched roof, special permission required due to fire risk, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's something that dates back to the rebuilding after the great fire.

I think you're on the right track but I believe it's actually the only building in London with a thatched roof, special permission required due to fire risk, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's something that dates back to the rebuilding after the great fire. DING! It's London's only thatched roof, and it is on a reproduction of London's oldest theatre: the Globe which dates back to Shakespearian times. The open-air theatre is based on the descriptions of the original design from 1559 where Shakespeare worked and presented his plays. The reproduction was built in 1996, funded by Sam Wanamaker, who dedicated 20 years to its creation. It's roof was no longer thatch, by the time of the Great Fire of London in 1666. But. the law is still there for not using thatch roofs. Burnt to the ground and rebuilt again. Tragedy struck the playhouse when amidst a performance of Henry VIII on June the 29th, 1613, a cannon fired during the play ignited the playhouse's thatched roof burning the playhouse to the ground. Rebuilt just one year later, the famous playhouse again opened its doors for business but on the opposite side of the Thames river in 1614, with the original's dangerous straw thatched roof now wisely replaced with tiles.
