    *BUMP* !

    Good Grief ! Thought I'd given you an easy one there chaps!
    Okay. This code-name led to the amusing spectacle of Allied officers who were in the know asking their colleagues "Are you a.......?" in an attempt to find out who else was in on it.
    Come on, I've just given it away...... :eek:

    Regards,
    Gordon

    Thanx KnightMove,

    Who returned Napoleon II´s ashes to Paris and why?

    “They are asking us for coal and, in return, give us back ashes!"

    The French reply to the act...

    Correct, KnightMove!

    The Germans would have been good enough for me as an answer.

    Now that the film "Troy" is coming out...

    According to Homer, who were the respective commanders of the Greek Fleet?
