When Milan's San Siro stadium had an extra tier of seats added to increase capacity, the climate inside the stadium changed so much that the grass died and the pitch had to be relaid with a different type of grass.

haha - nope. Didn't spot that it was an old thread - rather suggests that I don't know much that is useless - which is not true as I am a veritable font of trivia

Isn't that one of the ones they got wrong on QI? The City Of London is classed as a county.

Don't watch QI but I am sad enough to Google!

'Rutland was actually mentioned on QI when Stephen told viewers that we were only the smallest county in England when the tide was out on the Isle of Wight. This is not quite accurate, for reasons that get compex, so we'll just leave it that Rutland is Englands smallest county!'

That's from discover-rutland.co.uk (how sad am I!)

What I do know is they have a word no other county uses - 'compex;' :lol:

And the best time to walk it would be at night, because during the day it would be all uphill.

Smelling perfumes for the wife today and the perfumes odour would not not leave my nostrils.
So Miss perfume seller opened a jar of coffee beans for me to smell.
fact the smelling of coffee beans vacates ones nostrils to allow said perfume smellers nose to smell other perfumes without the impingement of previous perfumes. 👌
2nd fact, the perfume shop is called slapiton in Newark and is the cheapest on the net and is an excellent shop. Been there for the first time today.
