OK everyone, just before I say goodnight, I will leave you with a couple of riddles. Try and work them out. What falls on water but doesnt get wet? There were two twins, born in March, their birthdays are in September, and they both went on to marry. How is this possible?

The twins were born in March, Cambridgeshire, their birthdays were September because that's when they were born, and one married the other because they were clergy. Don't know the other one though. Janice
