[sir.prize]

mallyh, looks like you misread the Google link (funtrivia.com) for Alexander Graham Bell. He was nicknamed Father of the Telephone.

[Lockerl]

Sorry about that the Vindaloo question. It was 6.6. so Edwina Currie would fit.
So now only have Merlin (6.4.8) and Father of the four letter word (5.8)Thanks for all your brain power
