hope you don't think I'm hi-jacking your thread, but can i chuck a few on?

1 How is Paul Metcalfe better known

2 What company did Joe Bamford start

3 Name the 'EastEnders' pub

4 What event did the Ives brothers win (can't remember year!)

5 What organisation does Jeff Tracy control

4 are fairly easy, No.1 is a bit of an 'anorak special'!

Going to butt in now :wink:, utilising Jakes questions, but slighty different wording & answers
1. Who's nemesis is Professor Langstrum? (well, one of his nemesis's)
2 What did Doctor John Snow figure out was going off in his (mataphorical) backyard a few years earlier? (in the UK though)
3. What  structure was designed by the grandfather of the writer of Treasure Island?
4. Name the pulic house in Ballykissangel
5. Which British car shares its name with a fighter aircraft (be careful!)

2 What did Doctor John Snow figure out was going off in his (mataphorical) backyard a few years earlier? (in the UK though)

Cholera


Precisely, & John Snow founded the science of Epidemiology in the process.
He plotted the outbreaks onto a local map & visited the houses, spoke to relatives & by a process of elimination that Sherlock Holmes would be proud of sourced one outbreak back to a water pump in a yard in Soho.
Upon further examination, it was revealed that the waste from overflowing cess-pools was contaminating the well supplying the pump



It was also the time of the outbreaks that also lead to (Sir) Joseph Bazalgette designing the London sewerage system & woders like the Crossness Pumping station

Sadly the 2 men never met

The Bristol Blenheim was indeed originally built as a light bomber, but as you can read here in the 2nd & 4th paragraphs it was utilised as a long-range fighter.
