thats better.... ;D
Michael Bentine was the other one, I used to love his Potty Time, with model soldiers and castles getting blown up on kids TV. The Goons completely changed comedy as we knew it at the time, and most of it was down to Milligans deranged mind.

sorry, wrong answer, but that's real unfortunate, though ;D For all you motorists who scour the highways and byways of Europe, it's..................... Italy . . which was the first country in the world to start building motorways, i.e., fast roads, reserved for motor vehicles. The " Milano-Laghi" motorway (connecting Milan to Varese) built in 1921. Now the A8. "Autostrada 8"

thats the bridge of sighs venice again, I am sure you asked this one before and I answered it, either that or I have answered the same question elsewhere?? as far as I remember it connects the prisons to either the courts or inquisition chambers. There are also bridge of sighs at oxford (over a road) and cambridge(over the navigable Cam, although it is a tight squeeze in a narrowboat).
