Question of the day

[drewf]

Don't tell Contigo

Ah yes, but I'm not supplying the answer, since I've admitted to 'cheating' on this one. It's more that I HAD to know what it was that Catman was holding as a better response.

 

[spkennyuk]

You may as well set the new question Drewf as it seems the question had multiple correct answers and we don't have a clear winner.

 

[spkennyuk]

do you you need to work out the percentage of plain biscuits as opposed to chocolate

In a word yes. It get even more complicated if you are importing the biscuits. Different duty rates so you have to split the contents down for each group by weight. Goods containing chocolotae or fruit can fall under the CAP rules.

I'm happy for you to adjudicate, chap.

Benny there is one pyx used in that manner. There are many millions used for another very different reason, whether you are religious or not.
There is one (or is it two) Spyders with boomerangs. The general case remains unchanged

It wasn't my intention. I just like the thread staying on a roll. Set a new question yourself Catman. Thats fair.

It's a box used to store the eucharist for communion.

Back to reality....


Where and when was the first theatre in England lit by electricity?

 

[spkennyuk]

Logic says it would be in Gateshead but somehow I suspect one of the London theatres would have had more money to invest at the time. I would be guessing after that so i'm out on this one.

 

[drewf]

Nope, not Gateshead, not London.

 

[StuartW]

Nottingham?

 

[drewf]

Not Nottingham either

 

[dem maser]

York

 

[zagatoes30]

Well it must have been Joseph Swan, so if not Gateshead how about Newcastle ?

 

[drewf]

Still no, but you are in the right half of the country

 

[daverichardson]

Cragside, Northumberland
Well worth a visit

 

[drewf]

Well.... I may have been misinformed here. On checking the actual name of the theatre, it doesn't look like the reference I have for it is agreed with by very much else

Looks like it's The Savoy Theatre in London, lit by Joseph Swan, not the place I believed it to be in the north. Oh well....

Someone else set a question please!

 

[CatmanV2]

I think Zags was at least mostly right

[Contigo]

Drew in "once was wrong" shocker!!!
