Inspired by the trending weather thread and the individuals who appear to be au faith with weather models, got me wondering what uncommon or unique thing you know a lot about and would be regarded as people's "go to" (if they knew)?

Mine is foreign exchange.

NHS numbers, how they are generated, how to spot a fake one, what they link to internally. Pretty niche and not something that has ever helped in a real life situation!! 🤣

I can name every US state and it's capital.

This has never been useful. And was never necessary for me to know.

Clearly WeWereinParis you have never been in a pub quiz team!

@PermanentTemporary and @LylaLee - I think I am you too. Everyone thinks I know a lot but actually it's mostly just a lot of very random facts, nothing in any great detail. I am still the person they go to if they have a query though!
