Re: Little known facts
Mussolini made the trains run on time in 1930s Italy. If the train was late, the driver was shot. Could be a lesson there........

Re: Little known facts
The first Who Wants to be a Millionaire winner Judith Keppel, and Camilla Duchess of Cornwall, are third cousins.
Their shared ancestor was Alice Keppel, mistress of Edward VII, and it is rumoured they had a child, Violet Trefusis, who later also shocked the country in the '20's when she ran off with another married woman, the gardener and columnist Vita Sackville-West.
