Were the Prices/Willises 'Love thy Neighbour'?

That was the Booths and Reynolds. There is a bit of a subtle clue in that I said Price/Willis, not Price and Willis.

Would the Price/Willis be `Thats my Boy` tv series ?

 

[MotCO]

Would the Price/Willis be `Thats my Boy` tv series ?

Yes indeed. Dr Willis was adopted by Mrs Willis (and presumably there was a Mr.!)

Medfords were Terry and June, and I think the Parkinsons were Butterflies. No idea on the others

SteveM70 got two correct, so I pass the floor to him.

[Peter Mugridge]

Glasgow....? there was something on the news the other day about a park in Glasgow being very popular with tourists... I can't remember the name of it now, so I'll take a wild guess at Kelvingrove park as it's the only one I can think of offhand.

 

[perryman]

Would it be the location of a TV series or film? A location from Taggart, maybe (Rab C. Nesbitt or Still Game locations possibly. Or possibly not).

Your turn to have a bottle of buckfast and choose a question

 

[GRALISTAIR]

The airport codes allocated to various airports usually are something that is obvious. LHR London HeathRow for example. MCI is the airport code for Kansas City International. Why does this make sense?

 

[LSWR Cavalier]

Is Kansas City not in Kansas?

 

[GRALISTAIR]

Is Kansas City not in Kansas?

10 % of Kansas City is in Kansas. 90% of Kansas City is in Missouri. The airport and the downtown airport are most certainly in Missouri.

BTW the locals want MCI changed to KCI for Kansas City International but airport code KCI is now taken. MCI has been around for a long time.
