Trebor is Robert reversed, the founder of the company was grocer Robert Robertson, the Romans played no part in the naming of any mints.
Whoosh! 'Smuggins' was very good in Brain of Britain. Didn't you once appear in it? My two younger brothers are called Trevor and Robert. They grew up thinking they were called Trebor and Rovert. Mint!
With regards to result yes, however our foxy friend was trying to justify 'dominating' the game with selected stats not the result.
..wrong ..Mentos .. the Roman god of intellect.. although Airlie Tigger certainly doesn't believe. ..
Polo. Named after a small family hatchback manufactured by Volkswagen in Germany and not a 13th century explorer of Italian birth as many people think.

By an amazing coincidence, the following appeared in my email inbox today, from a friend. We'd been having a discussion about the units of time. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ The New Yorkers have been trying to popularize their own minute to compensate. (Oh, I do hate half-Latin-half-Greek words like "popularize". The Old Yorkers (Eboracenses from Roman settlement of Eboracum) would agree! The all-Greek word would be "laicize" (LAY-i-SIZE with short "i") but it's already taken, to describe "unfrocking" (not really) a misbehaving priest and returning him to the laity (aka the "lay people"). Pompous authors of specialized (ugh) books contrast their intended target with the "lay reader" (nothing to do with porn) to avoid calling him a "common reader" (also ambiguous). Former British Prime Minister Edward Heath was once unwise enough to speak in French and ignorant enough to translate "Common Market" as Marché Vulgaire rather than "Marché Commun" (but as I recall he did pronounce it correctly). "Vulgar" in current English is ruder than "Common", but I think they were once used interchangeably by the "Upper Classes" to describe the "Lower Classes". Today, of course, we are divided into the filthy rich "One Percent" who own half the nation's wealth, and The Rest of Us, so the 'upper classes still have the upper hand' (at last, a real quotation!).)
