I see that the media are warning of a shortage of tea. Why do I have the feeling that the attacks on shipping causing this may have been orchestrated by a certain Mr Tetley, Mr P G Tips and Mr T Y Phoo, just to increase demand for their products?

Emma and I have our wedding anniversary today. Adopting the now traditional method of measuring such things, it's 19 Chelsea managers since we tied the knot.

Fantastic piece of trivia, number two. Gina Coladangelo, Matt Hancock’s bit on the side, is the great-niece of former goalkeeper and BBC sports presenter Bob Wilson.

That’s another completely useless fact; but, again, I’m happier for having found it out.

Here’s a fantastic piece of trivia. Former Radio One DJ Janice Long and her husband were the winners of the first ever episode of the game show 3-2-1 in 1978.

That’s a completely useless fact, but one that I feel much better for knowing.

@SueWoodroffe @Telegraph The “Hide completed clues” option can be turned on and off. If you click into the More icon in the top right of the screen (indicated by three dots), you’ll see it as the final option (screenshot attached). Hope that helps.
