    Ok. Following this theme, Frenchie. To drive from Brazil to Paramaribo, in the former Dutch colony of Suriname, you have to go through French Guyana. What do you have to do on that journey that you have never had to do, because of Napoleon, when driving from France to the Netherlands?

    Change the side you drive on?

    It wasn't until Napoleon conquered the Netherlands that the Dutch started driving on the right

    That's it, Yorkie. Suriname and Guyana are the only independent countries in South America that drive on the left.

    Cheers Yorkie

    A quickie - what was the significance about the moment David Warner swatted a boundary off Ben Stokes in an Ashes Test match a few years ago?

    Not the quickie I thought it would be. :(

    The test match in question was at Trent Bridge in August 2015.

    I'll give it to you. It was actually the millionth ball in test cricket in England - just a slight difference.

    Over to you
