    Well yes I have not got a clue either Zoom.

    I am wondering if WC refers to water closet or is it the initials of a person (or even an object/trademark etc).

    Hmm I need to think about this one.


    Kelly - Scooby Doo.

     I recently transited thru U A E and was suprised to be informed that in Dubai they do not watch that programme , but Abu Dhabi do!

    Boom Boom as Bazil Brush would say.

    I am really not confident about this.

    A very long shot but I'm going to go with drinks or things not working as expected, but it is not fitting well.

    I look forward to being found totally wrong in the next 24 hours. If the first is wrong, it all fails.


    1) Lemon Aid and Katie Eller.

    2) Derbyshire - tram museum, an area famous for its water and breweries ?

    3) WC Fields, famous drinker, last film "Sucker", but also that sketch " the day I drank a glass of water. .

    4) Tomorrow's world"  - lots of 'lemons' there

    5) The weekdays  cannot make it fit.

    Nice one Zoom.

    I got tomorrows world and thought about "watch with mother" (I liked andy pandy, bill and ben) WC I thought of WC fields and I`m afraid 7/7 got me thinking of the London attacks.

    So I failed.



    Kelly, your jokes can`t be as bad as mine can they?

    Just as I was about to present my answers you beat me to it. ?


    1. Well before my time - I imagine that I started watching in about 1963.


    2. Who gives a s***? We didn't up north.


    3. He was nearly dead. No wee child would have been aware of that, but I have some memory of the funeral and a better memory of the 5-bob coins. I still have one somewhere.


    4. Raymond Baxter and string vests!  I must have missed the first few years - too young again!

    I haven't looked at the internet, but shouldn't it be 11/23/63 (American format)?

    NO.

    Americans get allsorts wrong, example the date, example pronunciation of Colin, Iraq, Data etc etc the list is endless.

    So, that date, the significance without tinternet assistance?

    ?
