    I might as well put the acacia honey one out of its misery, too.

    Acacia honey is made from the flowers of the black locust (Robinia Pseudoacacia), not from the flowers of wattle, mimosa, acacia or thorntree (Acacia). While most of the plant if toxic, the flowers aren't and are often used to make fritters.

    Bad spelling and bad guess, although in the right area.

    Spelling is way off but I have to give it to you. They are, of course, different-sized containers of champagne. The full list is:-

    Bottle
    Magnum (2 bottles)
    Jeroboam (4 bottles)
    Methuselah (8 bottles)
    Salamanazar (12 bottles)
    Balthazar (16 bottles)
    Nebuchadnezzar (20 bottles)

    Enter Shikari had a song with this title a few years ago and it starts off with a man being hanged.

    Any relationship there?

    The movement someone makes when they're hanged? Legs kicking is the 'dance'?

    I am taking the liberty of throwing out a question, just because. Actually because I just saw this bit of info and would like to share it...

    Green Shield stamps, given out with petrol and various other purchases, are now gone...but what did the company morph into?

    I'm guessing here, but based on the range of items they handled - Argos?

    Oh. :( I was thinking along the lines of "Radox Bath Salts: like a back rub in your tub", but I guess they mustn't have liked that.

    A very credible suggestion but not it, I'm afraid.
