The Island of Herm in the Channel Islands has a very famous beach. What is it called and why ?

[Mr Happy]

It is Shell beach. So named because of the millions of tiny shells that are washed up on the Gulf Stream.

[Mr Happy]

Is it Shell beach, so named because of the millions of shells wahed up from the gulf drift?

[Big J R]

Absolutely right Mr H. A little piece of Heaven !

 

Your go....................

[Mr Happy]

Right, this one is a bit of a riddle but the answer can be found in a Sophocles play:

 

What goes on four legs, on two legs and three, but the more legs it goes on the weaker it be?

[chris blanc]

Is the answer man, like in the riddle of the Sphinx?

[Mr Happy]

Well done. Man is at his strongest on two legs. He is weaker on three as the thrid leg is a walking stick and at his weakest on al four as a child crawling!

[chris blanc]

OK guess it's with me
