    They have all been Wimbledon Champions (they are all tennis players)
    Never put tables and chairs in the same room.
    If they congregate together for any length of time, they will inevitably hatch plots against you and your pets.

  • Hi
    I've only just joined this site and I'm not sure how to start a new thread (sorry)
    In the Independent Jumbo Crossword this Saturday I need to know the connection between
    Tintin, Dennis the Menace & Charlie Brown (apart from the fact they are all comic characters)
    Thanks
