Hi @Mi-Amigo

Pm with answers sent. A few "on the tip of my tongue" ones there.....

Good selection of questions.

Feel I should know that motorway one but like @Cleoriff mind is not dredging up the answer. I'll be on motorway going west this weekend to Bristol, so I'll end up looking at a map and will surely be saying "Oh yeah!!!!!! That's the answer"
