I've been walking there often enough to know! Erm... Coniston water, Windermere, haweswater, kentmere and ullswater. That tested my memory and some may not be quite right but I think so.

What does DNA stand for?



There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: 'This glass is half full'. And then there are those who say: 'This glass is half empty'.
The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: 'What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!

When did Henry VII get the throne?
