### Google says ..
Wrens are known for having the loudest song of any bird in the UK, producing cascades of complex, high-pitched whistles and trills to establish and defend territory. A wren's song is often described as a jubilant, high-volume burst of sound, while a robin's song is melodious but less forceful



Apparently they are the only bird to be found in every single part of the British Isles .. warmest to coolest , highest to lowest, loudest to quietist . It seems odd for one so very tiny .

Strawberries red parts aren't actually the Fruity parts, it's the little seeds inside of the Strawberry that qualifies them as a Fruit.

…Sylvester Stallone wrote Rocky in three days after watching a boxing match because the only acting jobs he could get were bit parts and [adult movies], and he was homeless for a while… the producers wanted Burt Reynolds to play the lead but Stallone refused, and accepted huge budget cuts to star in his own film…

Armadillos are regarded as virtual vermin in Florida … they dig huge holes and ruin gardens . We saw one lady chasing one down the street with her broom !

Interestingly they are growing in popularity in this country as pets- at last glimpse they were £600 each

Earl Grey tea started out as a low quality tea with bergamot added to enhance the flavour and disguise it.

Even though it’s commonly thought to be named after him, it has no proven link to Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey, British Prime Minister in the 1830s.

I once tried some by mistake as the t bags in the staff room got mixed up .. now bearing in mind that I have a very sensitive palate

Anyways , I actually spat it out as I thought there was some washing up liquid in my cup !

It certainly amused everyone else but I knew from that moment that I wasn’t an Earl Grey guy !
