Weird

I've just been reading one of those little books about London that's full of useless information to impress tourists who glide into the capital to consume culture, cappuccinos and history, before getting back on aeroplanes to where they've come from and promptly forgetting everything they found so interesting the day before.

Anyway, apparently:

* The longest ever game of monopoly lasted 70 days
* In the eighteenth century you could get £4 for a dead-body, more for a 'short' ie a child
* Every year an average of 7,000 umbrellas are left on the tube.
