There was a pub called the Grill Pub in Aberdeen that famously had a sign outside that said, no ladies please and wouldn't let any women in at all. In fact, it was in 1973 that a group of women ripped the sign off the door and went into the pub and demanded to be served.

I was going to say, can I quickly read out my favorite sport fact from this book? This is a fact that was found from James, found by James. That is a non-league footballer in Aberdeen missed the goal so badly that they found the ball 1,800 kilometers away in Norway. His shot went past the goal.
