Five things I didn't know last week

In no particular order:

1. That Tim Sadlier is still willing and able to get into a boat. Well done that man.

2. That the Falkirk Wheel is the equivalent height of 8 double decker buses (it said so in the visitor centre, I think).

3. That not having a full service history for your car, can seriously affect the resale value.

4.  That carbon playboats will soon be an 'affordable' option.

5.  That up to 30 million pound coins in circulation could be fake, and how to spot one.
