@moonbus saidMany years ago I fully expected to see a Crystal Palace at Crystal Palace before it was pointed out to me that it burned to the ground in 1936.
I went to Convent Garden and didn't see either a convent or a garden. I went to St. Pancreas Station and didn't find the pancreas either. Neither was Victoria at Victoria Station, nor was an Elephant at Elephant and Castle. Pout.
@very-rusty saidyou would at least know that I have 2 thumbs

Are you me now, or just wish you were? 😛 😉

Is that where they got the name for Superman? Clark Kent, mild mannered reporter?

@sonhouse saidNot a clue, sorry. Kent's a county in South of England. Apparently superman was adopted by the Kent family in kansas (just Googled it). Don't know if there's a connection.

@earl-of-trumps saidI know the feeling, have a look at what people do to my threads.
Hey!! You people are missing it. You are supposed to post your own Factoid. Let's try again.

Factoid: Tirana, the capital of Albania is one of two capitals without a McDonald’s. The second is Vatican City.
Oh never mind, you're usually in on it. We could consider that a little Factoid couldn't we? 😛 🙂
