    So close - weren't they both in the same field of endeavour ? And 'Mousepastry' is in common usage too. :rolleyes:

    You got it.
    He was one of the people whose work made motorcycling as we know it possible. He invented the electric battery and did early work investigating spark ignition.

    Thanks Flay. Good choice of challenge. Given the ‘current’ lockdown situation, I was ‘shocked’ it took us so long to find that ‘spark’ of genius to figure it out.

    To be fair, he looks even grumpier than me.

    Ain't it annoying when you've seen someone before but can't quite put your finger........he's a Sherman, also confirmed by his tie, out of some cop, sitcom, hospital series. Even if I think of the series I won't know his name so nope sorry, don't know.
