hamster Posted 16 July, 2009 Share Posted 16 July, 2009 I often wondered this too stevo when driving down the A31. Then I got a computer and discovered Google, it is very good source of factual information you should try it. In the meantime: - Gilbert White was a mas murderer who fathered most of the children born in Alton between July 1870 and September 1877, he famously killed 'Sweet Fanny Adams' who was named after a Royal Navy snack of bsicuits that had been left out to go soggy. He lived to be 121 years old and was due to travel on the Titanic, but missed the boat due to a heavy cold which trapped his left leg, he eventually escaped the cold by gnawing off his own leg, an amazing feat when you consider that his upper set of teeth were made of oak, the same wood that Henry V!!! used to build the Mary Rose. I think I have remembered that correctly but may have not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamster Posted 16 July, 2009 Share Posted 16 July, 2009 you left out the bit about the sex change and how he/she invented water. my apologies scara, you may have noticed that I also omitted to mention that his brother Al (who trained as a doctor) first discovered that if you spread jam between two slices of bread you have a sandwich. Poor fellow was pipped at the post re patenting his invention by the 12th Earl of sandwich, ironically because he stopped on his way to the patent office for lunch. You can guess what he had for lunch? Yep, a Devonish Pasty! On the subject of the Earls of Sandwich, does anyone know who invented Wellington boots? I was always led to believe it was Mr and Mrs Dolcis, but they weren't even born when the boar war was on, I suspect that think my Uncle was lieing (sp).

Wellington boots..... thats an easy one, it was Wolfgang Petersen. He even made a documentary about it called Das Boot, which translates to The Boot.....obvious when you think about it really!!!
