  7. Note: You can buy/own fully operational Martini Henry rifles in the U.K. without needing a firearms certificate, because they’re classified as obsolete. (Obviously you aren’t allowed to possess the ammunition, and it costs around £10 per round anyway).

  44. Blackbirds and thrushes are also known to break open snails on an ‘anvil’ rock.

  45. I’ve actually read ‘Dianetics’ and some of his claims have since proved to be true. Medical staff (and visitors) are now trained to avoid negativity around unconscious patients.
