Interesting Place - Wigan

According to historian Dr Graham Robb, King Arthur’s Camelot was not in Glastonbury, nor in Tintagel, not in France, but in Wigan. (To be accurate, it was located in a cul-de-sac, at the end of Brookfield Road in Standish, and nearby you will find the lake where Excalibur was believed to have been thrown upon King Arthur’s death; Martin Mere, the largest freshwater lake in England. During research for a book, Dr Robb found geographical evidence of two ancient routes, which would have made this location a prominent one in medieval Britain.

Interesting Fact - Gambling

There is no chance of winning the top prize on a £2 scratch-card on sale in the UK. (Why can't you win?  Well because all the top £100,000 prizes have already been won.

About 12 million of the cards were printed with the odds of scooping the jackpot standing at almost 2.5 million-to-one, and now those odds are a big fat 0.)
