    "none. They couldn't find a bulb that would match the colour scheme of the cable. "

    Unfortunately you could find tyres, tubes, tape and saddle to match the colour scheme of your Coppi.

    Well knowing nothing of London I can only answer the bonus question. One after buying a vintage lamp he checks lampgallery.com , in order to carefully curate lampshade, cord and bulb with just the right colorways, spends a great deal of money on the project yet only turns on the lamp at dusk turning it off when it gets really dark.

    Question 12: London is built on two hills. What are they called?
  35.  
    Not really a courier question, is it? But anyway, the original Roman settlement was built on Cornhill and Ludgate Hill.
  36.  
    Has anyone answered all the questions in the original quiz?
  37.  
    Did we do the squares in W1?
  38.  
    Or the number and names of the gates in the old wall of London?

    Isn't it 8 squares?
  40.  

    It’s at least 13 squares.
    14 if it’s true that one corner of Leicester Square is marked as W1.
    Bill will always say one number higher than everyone else but won’t be able to tell you the name of his secret square.

    Bill is a square.
  42.  
    Name them, then, smartypants.
  43.  

    Well apart from the 9 that are big square green things there’s:

    Curzon
    Montague
    Audley
    Bryanston

    and I’m just going to try to get photographic evidence of the Leicester square rumor.

    There was a quiz for potential riders at OYB at one point. I think Paris set the questions. I know the Savoy Court one was in there, maybe the #1 London one too. Anyone ever sat it - d'ye remember any others?
