It's probably one of the more famous things about Bognor

I'll leave another clue or two if it's still running by the time I go to bed.

Clue: he died after 1900.

Clue: his family firm is still going strong. One of his descendants got married recently, and it was really quite a grand occasion.

I'm off to bed now. Feel free to post a new question if you get tired of waiting for me to wake up.

That Kellogg guy?

Shayne Parkinson · 05-28-2011, 03:27 PM

No, not a Kellogg.

Clue: royalty.

One of the Windsors?

Shayne Parkinson · 05-28-2011, 05:55 PM

Yes, definitely a Windsor. Nearly there.

poohbear_nc · 05-28-2011, 07:54 PM

Edward VIII?

Shayne Parkinson · 05-28-2011, 08:19 PM

Very close! But earlier than Edward VIII.

Wouldn't he have had fun saying it? All that alliteration.

That was George VI. He did die before Edward VIII, though he was born later. But not him. Which leaves *one* Windsor monarch...

Answer in spoiler, because questions can become stale.

I declare Pooh and Snakey joint winners, as they each got equally close.

poohbear_nc · 05-31-2011, 01:18 PM

OK - how about a snake-y question?

As you probably know, snake charming likely originated in India, and early practitioners were also healers (by necessity or choice?). Although still a major tourist draw, snake charming is in danger of dying out in India. Why?

Have they declared cobras (or similar) an endanged species?

The story goes that he was being assured he'd soon be well enough to recuperate at the seaside resort of Bognor, and his response was "Bugger Bognor".
