John Cleese's family name was originally Cheese but his grandfather didn't like it so changed it when enlisting in WW1.
Gary Rowell's family name was Pigg, before they changed it to Rowell.
Gary and Phil Neville are brothers! Thought "the Neville brothers" was just a nickname as they had the same surname and played at Man United together

Hitler had his own physician, who most German physicians believed was a quack.
He was on a cocktail of drugs, which shouldn’t have been taken together and was particularly addicted to opioids.
There’s footage of him in the final months of the war visibly shaking and unwell.

The Pink Floyd album ‘Piper at the gates of dawn’ isn’t named after some mystical far out hippy shit, but is, in fact, a chapter from Wind in the willows, where the woodland chums bump into Pan.
Incidentally, Kenneth Grahame wrote the book for his son, Alastair, who later ended his life by putting his head on a railway line, aged 19.

Mike Pratt, who played Jeff Randall in the original Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased), was an accomplished jazz guitarist and songwriter. He won 2 Ivor Novello awards in the late 50s, one with Tommy Steele for " A Handful of Songs" and one with Lionel Bart for "Little White Bull".
Last year I learned about the secret "button" on pedestrian crossings. It being the cone shaped plastic or metal object with raised ridges. The cone spins when it's green for pedestrians to go. It's placed there so visually impaired people know when it's safe to cross as not all crossings make an audible sound, particularly in busy areas where sounds can be confused.

They’ve been there since the 1980s I think, when we found about it as kids it was underneath the control box/button unit.

Indirectly resulted in his death. He refused to have hip replacement surgery on religious grounds but opted to take crazy amounts of pain relief medication instead. Very sad as he was a super talented little fella.
