Yeah sorry about that I was thinking about that today. It is the first parlimentary democracy, and it was made further so with the glorious revolution etc etc. I had a history lapse there.

Nevertheless.....


Great Britain. Who was the architect of St Pauls Cathedral, London?

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds ;) Could answer that if you'd just said "marmalade"

Seing as Beatles are the pretty much the only thing I know stuff about lets have another question, which song contained the lines, "I told you about straberry fields, you know the place where nothing is real"

Coca Cola never made it red, although it's commonly beleived. Midway through the 19th centuary there was a poem based on a Red Coated Jolly Father Christmas, basicly the current day Santa. Coca-cola based their images on this poem, but they certainly weren't the first to describe a red santa.

Eep, that's what I get for reading too many of these "random fact" books.

Ah, but was it green before that? I've definitely read that somewhere...

Yes, it was green BN. And Coca-Cola were the first to publicise it to the point that it became the adopted colour.

Ok, so...

Who had the most weeks on the UK singles chart during the 1960's?

I'm interested to see if anyone knows this. The answer is quite surprising!

Want any more guesses??? :lol:

Yes, Cliff Richard. You'd think it would be one of the other two artists you mentioned though, wouldn't you?

Your go!
