May I take the floor gents...

In 1963 a bunch of scallywags without any weapons decided to hold up a train, how much moola did they escape with?

Officially £100,000, actually reputed to be a bee's dick over £2M.

You've got the right robbery, Robbie was found with just under £150k, and the total amount was rumoured to be a bit more than a bee's dick - maybe a rhinoceros' dick - at £2.6m (around £53.5m in today's coin). @Dales Cannon floor is yours.

Only a kiwi would waltz with a sheep.

A sheep may have been involved in the incident, allegedly....

Mt Koziosko? Something in our Antarctica territory might be higher but don't know any names or heights.

 

[fatboyonabike]

Im off to do the Inca trail in 5 weeks, we have to traverse a mountain pass of no real significance at 4200 ASL, Go Straya!

Yes I think the guys are onto something here,it's a volcano on an island can't remember the name of it, middle of nowhere South West of Perth

 

[Dales Cannon]

[hifiandmtb]

Yep. It's spelt Kosiosko.
