GordonS Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Right, there's one I posted above still unsolved, not tricky, and I'll throw this one in as well: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story of Robinson Crusoe was inspired by the real life story of Alexander Selkirk from Lower Largo in Fife. IIRC he was on a ship that went to visit this island. When it was time to leave, he refused to get back on board and so they left without him. The island is now part of Chile. Stupid idiot could have claimed ownership and we would have all sorts of fishing rights and all that. Oh well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
