    Apologies, I'm a bit of a nerd on these things

    For air-to-air combat, the ME-262 was fitted with four 20mm cannon as standard, although rockets could be fitted and were used, but to a much lesser degree (possibly due to production/materials limitations).  They were fired from outside the range of the bombers' defensive machine guns but were not terribly accurate in their deployment.  The 20mm cannon shells only needed one in the right place to put an allied bomber in a difficult spot, and a decent bunch of them in the right place saw the plane going down. 

     

    Not quite as much of a nerd as you think.  They were 30mm cannon.

    No it isn't just you.  Mind you, I think you may mean an Over Shot Card.  Someone was probably paid a lot of money to think up that (unnecessary) new name.

    Still, they're High Fibre, so they must be good for you.

    My teen years coincided with some of the very best that music had to offer and since that time the quality has never been equalled. I was lucky to have seen some of the best bands in their prime in the seventies and early eighties

     

    This sounds badly wrong.  This is borne out by the list given. Of the six, three are from the sixties, two are from 1971 & 1972 and one only is from 1979.

     

     

     

  4. I open the browser on my phone at a certain search engine and type in ‘Tesco Willow Farm’. Lo & behold if the results don’t lay claim that ‘Willow Farm’ is an entirely ficticious place to make this range more appealing. [/size]

    I knew that name rang a bell. "Willow Farm" is a ficticious place in a Genesis (proper - Peter Gabriel - Genesis) song from the seventies.

  5. Found it difficult to word the question clearly so have amended it. Naturally, Brad's answer does not reflect the question.

     

    Unlock bolt, open bolt, close bolt and lock bolt. Four movements - standard really.

     

    Browning straight pull : Open bolt and close bolt - we're now down to two.

     

    Two to beat then.

    Double rifle: move index finger to second trigger - we're now to one.

     

    Or have the middle finger on the second trigger already - now down to zero.
