I've found various answers for the road markings,
http://www.chapmancentral.co.uk/web/public.nsf /documents/historyopendocument

"Single white lines introduced as road dividers 1927"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_surface_mark ing

Wikipedia says 1921 in Sutton Coldfield.

http://www.lancaster.gov.uk/Documents/welcome_ web.pdf

"First white lines were used ....Toll Bar Garage near Hornby."

http://www.chronology.ndo.co.uk/1925-1949.htm

"1925 Order given for the painting of white lines on roads in an attempt to reduce traffic accidents."

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/politics _show/6544321.stm

"In 1924 the traffic in one London Street was deemed to be so bad that something needed to be done.
The solution? A white line painted down the middle of the road as an experiment in solving the traffic congestion problem."

I'd go for 1924 since that's the closest.

Probably 1924 - see Lancashire County Council
3. Andean condor ?
Question Author
thanks for your help,I did check out the Wikipedia but the dates did not correspond with the ones given.Any idea about the newspaper reporters????And the bird one it was a toss up for the condor or the vulture,thanks.
The bird one may be a matter of opinion but I'd go for the condor too. I couldn't find the answer to the writers but I get the Suday Post in the afternoon so I'll have a flick through it later.
Reporters - these guys don't report for Sunday Post or Sun
so I guess it's a visit to the newspaper stand tomorrow!

Dogpile search for largest bird of prey has a vulture quiz on it and states the Andean Condor is largest bird of prey.

Hope this is of some little help.
no 2 is the Weekly News. I entered it as soon as you posted, but for some reason it did not accept my posting!
