Good work Jamiejay, and Howard that shows what goes around comes around.
For anyone interested, the clue relates to Guys, home of the dental hospital, my bike is an Italian stallion, a Denti, which is tooth/teeth in Italian. And apparently on this day is 1498 the first bristle toothbrush was invented. An chinese emperor plucked the hairs of wild boars and hogs and inserted them into a bone or bamboo handle. This was brought to Europe, where the boar hair was substituted with horse hair as many found the boar hair too stiff
And still on the teeth theme, I'd never heard of Waterloo teeth either until some googling for this tag, pretty grim.
