I'd file that under "tragic" rather than "useless".StillSpike wrote: ↑Wed May 20, 2020 9:14 pm There are more tigers in captivity in the USA than in the wild in the rest of the world.

Re: Useless facts
@dunners world locations by latitude map ^.
It always amazes me how far north we are in the UK compared to the other continents. Basically, the Canadian tundra to the west and Siberian permafrost to the east. So, praise be to the Gulf Stream making our lives a bit more tolerably temperate...if slightly damp, I guess.

Re: Useless facts
Sadly most are either closed or demolished now, Dissy. Just 2 left outside of the shopping centre now. Which is a shame: a well kept public loo always seems a measure of a good, civilised society to me. Mind you, all the surrounding villages seem to have one (currently closed, of course) and generally they are kept very spick and span.

The youth in TW need educating on public hygiene though.

Re: Useless facts
There have been 36,914 deaths from Coronavirus out of the UK's population of 66,000,000, that's 0.05%.
To show these stats in a way we can all relate to, 0.05% of an Orient crowd of 6,000 is three
Or 0.05% of a Wembley crowd of 90,000 is 45

What do we share with Carlisle F.C?
They are the other team to have two Wyverns on their Club Crest.
