Google it, there's some interesting answers, I particularly like the "wankers 50".

That's Wigan Casino, I think it's long gone, but I'll ask my sister, she lived near by and likes Northern Soul.

They're set so high numbers are next to low right? That's what I always assume...so if you aim for a big score and miss you get a low one.

It's probably some obscure sports/religious/Industrial revolution/political reason and that ^^^ practical result is just a coincidence. :D

I did, and I got sidetracked by why is it called the oche? It sounds like a word that's been passed down through generations but it's surprisingly recent.

Why does the curry always taste better in-house rather than takeaway? And the Kingfisher always that much crisper and satisfying?
Well - I have to say that after all that, last nights lamb karahi was the most disappointing, flavour-less curry I think I've ever had, not unpleasant, just dull. The peshwari naan had more flavour. :(

Apparently there's a prog on Sounds/Radio 4 - The History of the Dartboard. I'll get my assistant to listen to it and report back. :thumbup:

If you made them higher they would be dams. Then you might need holes in them, which would make them bridges.
