Things that you've learned recently

Hmm, and there was I thinking it was named after a large garage and caravan sales operation that used to be located there called "Testo's Caravans". Maybe the caravans joint was named after the roundabout which was for some reason named after the proprietor of a flea-circus.

Maybe the flea-circus bloke went on to open the garage?

that might be it -there is some link between the flea circus and the business.

Testo's roundabout get's its name from Alfred Testo, Britain's best known flea circus entertainer.

was he the same man called Testo who had the garage right by the round-a-bout ?

Sounds like an enterprising idea.

Baked beans are actually navy beans, so called because they've been a staple in the diet of the US Navy since the 1800s.

And (apart from the sugar in the tomato sauce) they're very good for you, with properties that protect against cancer, heart disease, diabetes and Russian submarines.

Aye that's where I saw it.

Not really mate, it's a tin of beans. I think knowing the difference between right and wrong is beyond the parameters of their existence

I think you will feel me a chicken with a cock can't lay eggs.

What does that even mean it’s gibberish
Are you dense?

Looks like a typo from two years ago. Is your reading really that slow?

The planet Pluto is not the outermost point of our solar system, the Oort cloud is.

Voyager 1, launched in 1977, will reach it in 300 years, and take 30,000 years to pass through it.

Sort of knocks on the head any idea of humans ever getting there let alone ``outer space``

But....but....the Hollywood Egyptians were white! Cleopatra was white and spoke perfectly good English. So did Marc Antony, coincidentally, perhaps with an ever-so-slight Welsh twang....

Probably seb but Cleopatra would have been white. The dynasty she was part of was Greek.
