That just leaves the bonus question:
Why this question was chosen for this month.

[xplaistow]

Is it to do with Totally Thames?

[Chris M]

Totally Thames is coincidental

[roman80]

All on the route of the Great River Race this weekend?

[Chris M]

Again that's coincidental - this is a history question.
