Historical mysteries:
Stonehenge - what was it's purpose and who built it and how did they manage to marshal the labour and resources?
6th century England - apart from Gildas (possibly, depending on when he wrote), a few continental sources and Bede's recordings, we know very little about 100 years of our history.
Criminal mysteries - Shergar, Lord Lucan, Victor Grayson.
Military mysteries - how big was the mutiny at Etaples in 1917, how much of a threat was Percy Toplis?
Paranormal mysteries - are there Big Cats roaming the wilds? What did the CCTV footage showing someone walking through the wall of a nightclub actually show? |

"The popularity of Mrs Brown's Boys
I back this. Don’t know anyone who actually watches it but it gets treated as one of the greatest of all time.
We watch it  "
When you consider Mrs brown what's his name writes the scripts and Kathy (his real wife)in the show has a new boyfriend every 5 mins..
Do you think they're saying subconsciously that they're swingers in real life and the real life wife Kathy want more with his blessing..
One wonders or do others know more |

"Big cat sightings, are big cats actually out there?  "
It seems fairly likely at some stage there has been at least one or two. Unlikely a breeding population but I would say one escaping captivity is certainly a possibility |

"Why working classes and middle classes vote for
Conservatives…"
I fully get this, my dad an ex firefighter said he would never vote for Boris after what he did to the brigade as mayor, my dad still voted Tory because the daily mail touted Corbyn as a communist, he even said the newspaper wouldn't lie as they have a responsibility to report the truth 🤣🤣🤣 |

"Why does bread and jam always fall jam side down when dropped.
I think it's to do with the weight?"
Its the height of the table. If you had a 9ft tall table the bread would have enough distance to land right side up again. Probably still best to just not drop the toast |

"Why working classes and middle classes vote for

I don't think the Victorian class structure really exists anymore. But only in the most broadest sence.
I.e. the Beckhams of the 00s would be considered working class. Ebven though David was earning the same as the prime minister.
In the UK we have blue collor workers in certain roles earning more than white collor workers with degrees. And what class are students? Are those heavily on state handout or below the poverty line are they traditional working class. If they don't own their property or work as long?
To answer your question based on a news night program i watched few years. Most People generally consider themselves as middle class (because they own their own home and work white collor jobs)
Even those peope outside may perceave then to be working class. The interval identity is what matters to the individual. People will vote with what they think the party that meets their current core needs. |

"Why poorer people support politicians like Farage, bankrolled by even wealthier millionaires to fuck them over."
Farage is one of the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse I'm sure of that. Driven by nothing but his self interest |

Obviously, he's a TV and she's a hot wife,l. Programme is shite tho, I much preferred the Krankies for subtle sexual innuendo, although getting your wife to dress as a schoolboy is a tad string- but each to their own!

Why so many people vote and pretend to care about things and do absolutely nothing to help fix the problems. It’s no mystery they are selfish & lazy and want to be controlled rather thank have to think, act and take risks |

This is the real conspiracy in politics.
Literally conspiracy fact though.
As opposed to the theories and scaremongering in the media. |

The obsession with building semi detached houses.
Any where else in the world houses are predominantly build either detached or in some form of terrace.
But the UK seems to think it is a vast saving to stick 2 houses together.
It both confuses me and makes me ragey.

The whereabouts of my gym bag.
I remember putting it into the car. I come to go to the gym a few days later, no gym bag. Total mystery.
Not a biggie you’d think. BUT…….it had all my notes, support strapping, £150 shoes, and £250 pair of ear buds. Not to mention a wallet that had £100 in it.

"Why does bread and jam always fall jam side down when dropped. "
It's due to the counter hight. It only allows for the bread to flip over and not do a full revolution before it hits the ground. If we were all taller and the counters were at about twice the hight it would land jam side up every time |

They were mainly built in the 1920/30s and a bit post WW2, in an attempt to offer better quality homes with decent sized gardens. Moving out of a terrace and into a semi was the very definition of social mobility.
They're rarely seen beyond 1960s-ish construction, when we started building upwards and sacking off the gardens/green spaces and garden cities. |

The movement you talk about is called modernism (in terns of building) which is both has a key importantant pay to play im terms of standardizing building international regs, social mobility in parts of the world hover eminent of of line Brutilism have need to many social problems and detachment. |

A tea cake has currents in it. Most definitely not a cob, bap, barm cake or a roll. Personally I to me it's a barm. |

"Why in an age of tolerance this world is still full of hate "
I’d add why does it seem that those who most vocally preach tolerance have so little of it for any viewpoint that doesn’t match their preferred narrative? |

Unfortunately the left wing thugs who throw concrete and make death threats towards him , probably make it unwise for him to hold a surgery or walk around his constituency freely |

When the National Living Wage is £11.44 an hour, so times 37 hours equals £423 a week. That is what is considered the minimum for a person to live on in this country and pay their bills etc. So why is a person over 65/67 expected to survive on £221 a week...??? |

I'm sure I read somewhere that Toplis wasn't at Etaples at the time. His unit, but not necessarily him, were en route to India.
He's a fascinating figure who the 'establishment' have gone to great lengths to villainise and simultaneously erase from history.
What a pity all the official records due to be released in 2017 were destroyed.

My fav band of all time, I was watching the documentary about them. They were only around a few years, made some great music then left the field. No one wants to work with them since. I got hold of part of their unreleased second album. Got some decent songs on it. Why do great bands stop, whilst shit ones carry on.
Another great mystery |
