What bit of random knowledge do you know?

Mine is I can remember the barcode for a Cadbury crème egg. I worked in a co-op over twenty years ago and they often didn’t scan so you had to put the number in and I can still remember it.

“That a kiwi contains ten times the nutritional content of any other fruit or vegetable, and that you should eat one first thing and wait at least 20 minutes before eating anything else.”

Not true sadly.

Kiwis ARE nutrient dense, rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, fibre and beneficial enzymes - but others can be higher, such as blackcurrants having a higher vitamin C content.

For digestion, there is no recommended specific timing relating to the morning, nor waiting to eat anything else, although some studies suggest for sleep improvements, kiwi can be most effective one hour before bed, not in the morning.

They’ve been talking about that on the radio in the last few days - apparently due to ice melting sooner it’s feared a lot have gone into the sea sooner than they should have before the new set have regrown.

I did on a neighbour's phone didn't get through.
Mum gave me hell for asking.

Dolly Parton wrote “I Will Always Love You” and “Jolene” on the same day.

That all buses were originally green until they realised that they blended in with trees etc that it caused accidents and so they changed to red. Although there are many more colours now.

Had they never heard of people being red/green colour blind?😂

I think there's more to the visibility of a bus than its colour!

And Dumfries is further south than Newcastle

🤣😂😅

Is it? I live in Newcastle, and I'm pretty sure that Dumfries is West of me and slightly to the North (albeit not by much)

OMG, poor Willy! 😂😂😂
