thanks for all your help, they seem obvious when someone tells you the answer - that is except for the centre of swan upping not sure how that comes about

[shaneystar2]

The Company of Vintners and the Company of Dyers still perform the ceremony of swan upping on the Thames .

Shaneystar, is there nothing you don't know or are you really good at googling. Respect!

[shaneystar2]

I am a mine of useless information !
Re the swan upping ..have seen this done when we lived that way so it sticks in your mind ..and .... how on earth you managed to find Mrs B&%dy Fleming and her wretched house on Hampstead Pond is nothing short of a miracle ..so respect to you too !

thanks again, it helps to know how the answer came about rather than just putting down a word, I try not to look on this sight until I am really stuck and the quiz end is very close.
I think it is a great sight for finding new quizzes, mind you they do seem to take over your spare time.

thanks again
