Can anyone answer how many perished in the Great Fire of London? No cheating and looking it up. I am surprised at the answer.

Who was the first English king to converse fluently in English?

One of the Henrys ? Henry V?

Can any one suggest why the construction of Waterloo Bridge,London, UK was deemed unusual ?

[retrocop]

sorry JD. I butted in when you still have a question pending for an answer.

[Jackdaw33]

I suppose the reason your question has not been answered is that none of us have the slightest idea.

[shaneystar2]

No idea .I remember that Bulgarian man was assassinated there.

[Jackdaw33]

Just noticed your answer, Shaney. Richard II it was. I'm fast running out of cigars here.
