It is illegal for witches to fly higher than 150 metres in Eswatini (Swaziland). Offenders can be fined up to R500,000 - about £24000

Koalas' fingerprints are almost indistinguishable from humans', even under a microscope
Hmmm, I think they would prefer you to call them Traditional Healers or Sangoma and the country is eSwatini
The 'famous' Cavern club opened 1957 as jazz venue. The original owner copied the idea of a basement/cave from one he enjoyed in Paris.
It then became jazz and skiffle but rock was banned.
The Quarrymen (Beatles) appeared there as they were originally a skiffle group.
One of the early acts was Rory Storm** and the Hurricanes.
Part way through their act they dared to throw in a 'rocker'. The audience pelted them with coins and the owner fined them 6 shillings but they collected all the coins which came to more than 6 sillings.
**Rory Storm was a locally well known athlete and swimmer. He lived with his Mum.....she found him dead in bed aged just 34 and promptly committed suicide.

I used to go to the Cavern in 1961/62.

The Cavern Club that now exists in Matthew Street as a tourist money sink is nowhere near the site of the original club, which is now just a patch of wasteland.
You may be getting mixed up with the Cavern club tourist place at the docks.
The actual Cavern club is just a few yards down from the original in Matthew Street.
It was active when I visited a couple of years ago.
I will double check that.

We agree. The present Cavern Club is not on the site of the one made famous by Lennon, Marsden etc.

I am trying to check that it is still there.
I used to go to the original in the early 60s and have been to the new one several times.....but not for at least 2 years.
