Help please! No-one has asked for an answer to this, so it obviously is so easy that I must be missing something or reading it wrongly ?! Duurrr!

Big Dipper

[Leecon]

Thanx Sam1960, divebuddy, Davemano; you must all think I'm so daft - so easy when you see the answer - I was completely thinking along the wrong lines! Duurr!!

Only one more query - someone said that Q13 Home of famous cook was WHITBY. Do you think that is correct? I was thinking more along the lines of a modern TV cook ?

[Davemano]

Captain James Cook was from Whitby.. A big statue of him overlooks the harbour.

[Leecon]

Thanx Davemano and Divebuddy - I didn't know that there was a statue of Captain Cook at Whitby. Now another place on my list to visit when I am up that way. Thanx x

[Davemano]

Leecon - google Captain Cook Whitby and see several pictures of the statue. There is a Cook Museum in the town.

[Leecon]

Wow Davemano, an impressive statue or what? I feel a visit to Whitby coming on next year. Thanx for that :o)
