Ten for Tuesday. Waterfall was a process of elimination based on very vague geographical knowledge, followed by the application of an airborne rotating ten bob bit.

Poem was one of those things you either know or don't.

I remember it as "who knew AUden was born under a bad sign in the Delta before he woke up this mornin'?

I'm sure it's agreed to use the highest number of any of the crown's otherwise it would be Elizabeth the 1st in Scotland right?

Because they were pre-Act of Union so weren't monarchs of Great Britain/the UK. They were kings of Scotland and England separately so had two regnal numbers. Eg James VI of Scotland/I of England. Monarchs since Act of Union (1707) only have one regnal number so Sevco's favourite king (pre-1707) is William II of Scotland/III of England but the William who was before Victoria (post-1707) is just William IV of the United Kingdom.
