Hi,bobthe fisherman, never heard of that one!! Think I'll buy that book-sounds good.

Hi quinie, hope you're well and happy......
I got it from a travelling bookseller, but I believe it's published by the Daily Telegraph, and is updated every year......

[quinie]

Thank you both for your info. No sooner said than done-just ordered the latest edition from Amazon. Just love that kind of book. I'm well, thank you, bob-hope you are too.

I'm not too bad thanks quinie,
Can I also Recommend "Schotts Original Miscellany" , - Ben Schott
...or any of his others - he brings out a new one every year aswell...
