I read somewhere that the answer is "42" ... but I'm not sure whether that is a "who" or a "what" Of course, it could be a "whom," objectively speaking It might refer to the number of pubs on Union Road; and if it is not accurate ... well, the folks in Ossy always have difficulty counting above 22: the number of fingers and toes possessed by the average Gobbin.

Did anybody see the Lincolnshire result. Under the normal method of voting the candidate for "Campaign to Stop Politicians Running Policing" actually won the first round but lost on the second votes.

There is still a coin named a groat.
Pictures of UK Coins - The Groat (Fourpence)

So if you ask for 'cheese at fourpence' you are buying groats cheese.
