Hi Ellan

If that isn't the answer it ought to be!

Maybe it would help if we knew the answers to other questions asked, to see how hard or easy this answer could be.

What does anyone think?

Hi Ellan & Quizzler

I would never suggest you could be wrong Ellan. lol I think your answer is brilliant.

Quizzler, I always bow to your superior quiz knowlege. You are loads cleverer than me.

Mau, I hope Ann lets us know the answer and I don't miss it on the boards. Sends Mau aspirin for headache.

Sits waiting, but not for long. Its OH's birthday and we have friends coming tonight and I will need to feed them, plus I wont be allowed on the computer to talk to you all. sniffs.

Hi Quizzler,

Have you thought that we may not know the answer for days, if it is one of those "fillie in the answers on the page and we'll let you know thingies"! lol

I am here for a little longer but I think my brain cell is turning to mush.

Stone was the capital of early Mercia, a powerful Anglian kingdom that later expanded over most of what is now the West Midlands. Christianity arrived via monks from Lindisfarne around the year 650, King Penda of Mercia having invited them in. The capital was later moved to Stafford, and then to Tamworth

Stone is an old market town in Staffordshire, England, situated about seven miles north of Stafford, and around seven miles south of the city of Stoke-on-Trent. It is the second town, after Stafford itself, in the Borough of Stafford, and has long been of importance from the point of view of communications. Stone gave its name to both an urban district council and a rural district council before becoming part of the borough in 1974.
