| 578126 | 2007-08-08 07:41:00 | :help: I have been given this quizz with answers relating to London. The quizz was devised in 1996. The question we can't answer is: "Where did we walk as a happy band?" Other questions include: "What happened in Berkley Square?" Ans. A nightingale sang. "What would we do down Lambeth Way?" Ans. The Lambeth Walk. You get the idea.... Any ideas about where we were walking? TIA - as always!! |

| 578127 | 2007-08-08 07:53:00 | I am pretty sure that the Spice Girls arrived on the scene - they were just coming out when I was over there between 1995-1997 | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 578128 | 2007-08-08 08:20:00 | Thanks for your reply. :) I'm not sure though - I think the answer might be 'older' than that. It will certainly be a 'well known' statement (even if we all can't think of it!). |

| 578129 | 2007-08-08 08:23:00 | Actually it was more of a suggestion than a possible answer although either way it was probably rather wide of the mark. | winmacguy (3367) | ||

| 578131 | 2007-08-08 08:46:00 | Yes - but why? Is there something that goes with that? A poem, a song perhaps? I'm VERY greatful for ANY suggestions - but I need to see the reason... :) I'll have to go and get ready for the 'morrow now. I'll check in the morning if you have any more ideas! Again, thanks. |

The question we can't answer is: "Where did we walk as a happy band?" Agincourt? As in Henry V, St Crispin's Day speech (Shakespeare). With grateful acknowledgment to my wife's literary skills. |

| 578133 | 2007-08-08 09:40:00 | Saint Crispin's Day Speech from Henry V by William Shakespeare: www.rispin.co.uk But no reference to London And on the Abbey road front there seems to be very little reference to happy and this is a little vague. classicrock.about.com "Album Notes: Not the last Beatles album to be released, but the last to be recorded. It marked a return to the happy, upbeat songs the band recorded in its early days, despite the open hostility that had developed between band members." |

| 578134 | 2007-08-08 09:42:00 | Agincourt? As in Henry V, St Crispin's Day speech (Shakespeare) . With grateful acknowledgment to my wife's literary skills . Yep . Definitely " we happy band" at Agincourt . But not sure about the walking . Those kingly types had horses . . . And where is Agincourt's location compared with London? PS . I see joemac's also wondering about the geography . PPS . And now I see it's :"We happy few, we band of brothers" - not a happy band . |
