Biblical scholars have still not found a satisfactory explanation for two living creatures not managing to get on to the Ark. An elk type creature and a rare type of bee that 'loans' honey from other hives are not mentioned in any ancient text.

Scholars can be heard lamenting the phrase "neither an Eland nor a borrower bee".

On hearing the cry from Government of "I expected there to be less of you" at the sight of the poll tax rebels, Wat Tyler was so inflamed, as it should be fewer., he initiated the pedants revolt.

The pedants' revolt was led by Which Tyler.

Given that the peasants' revolt took place in the 14th century, and that the distinction between fewer and less only came into being around the 18th century, then less would actually have been grammatically correct at the time.

In the 1949 film, 'A boy, a Girl and a Bike' - featuring Honor Blackman and a very young Diana Dors - there's a couple of scenes featuring a real local cycling club during a staged race.
If you look carefully, you can spot Jimmy Savile towards the front of the peleton. He was not listed in the credits as he was just an 'extra'.
