Welcome to Takeaway Trivia, episode number 345.

I'm Leon, your Quizmaster from the Hereford.

From the Hereford.

From Hereford, UK.

And this is another four rounds of pub quiz style trivia straight into your ears this week.

We're going to be playing the end of the quiz quiz.

Which country won the first Rugby World Cup in 1987? 7.

Which country won the first Rugby World Cup in 1987? 8.

The largest medieval map still known to exist is tucked away in a cathedral in England, and it shows mysterious creatures, historical events, and legends that aren't supposed to be real.

The Hereford map was made during the same time period as the height of the Tartarian Empire when Marco Polo was traveling across Asia encountering his own strange beasts.

So we had to know more.

When we dived into exactly how maps and stories from history got passed down, culture's effects on our historical records, and the difference between record-keeping in the past and today, it showed a much stranger picture of our past than the history books say.

So today we're going to be talking about one of the oldest and most interesting maps.

Of course, everyone knows about the Piri Reis map, which was dated to I think about the 15 or 1600s.

Hereford Munda is from the 1300s, and we actually know who created it.

It, it was a man named Richard de Bello.

Well, let's get out of the '90s and go into the year 2015, and British synth-pop star of the teens, Ellie Goulding.

From Hereford, England, she has a unique, high-pitched synth-pop voice that's perfect for the songs of the teens.

I loved when Lights came out.

That's one of my favorite songs of the top 200, and that hit number two, but we won't be hearing that one yet.

The Welsh were threatening to invade England.

The border country of Hereford had always been vulnerable to attack.

When Edward had brought Norman nobles to England, his motives were partly strategic.

Over on the continent, the Normans had come up with the technology of the motte-and-bailey castle, an easily defended stronghold from which a lord and his men could dash out to give battle or retreat from an invading force without giving ground, the perfect answer to Welsh raids.

The Norman castellans brought their technology with them.

This is one in Ewyas Harold in Herefordshire.

It actually became one of Harold's personal possessions.

Most people around here aren't even aware that it was a castle.

More interestingly, some places are doing much better, much better.

Hereford and Worcestershire managed 87.2%.

Now that's not a failure to be managed.

That's a blessing to be counted.

Sharing the good stuff.

Instead of beginning with failure, begin with success.

Before sending a letter to the 70 percenters, I'd get on a train to Hereford.

I'd try and find out what are they doing? How are the appointments organized? How does triage work? What's their skill mix? What happens when the phones light up on a Monday morning? What have they changed? And perhaps more importantly, what have they stopped doing? Then ask the question that rarely appears on a performance dashboard.

It isn't unusual to see them on patrol in an area or transmitting from one region to another.

There was an earlier call-out at 8.17 in the Hereford area.

where the aircraft was deployed to assist West Mercer Police after reports that a paraglider had possibly come into difficulty.

A spokesperson for the police said, We received a report that a paraglider may have gotten into difficulty in the air near Wobbly yesterday, Thursday, September 24th.

The crash caused significant disruption on the railway between Worcester Foregate Street and Malvern Link, with all lines initially closed while the crossing was inspected and repaired.

No train was involved in the collision.

National Rail warned passengers that services running between Worcester Forgate Street and Hereford could be delayed, cancelled or revised because of the incident.

A spokesperson said a road vehicle colliding with the barriers at a level crossing between Worcester Forgate Street and Malvern Link means that all lines have been closed.

How you doing, Mark? if you're listening.

And they are from Hereford in England.

Where? Yes, Hereford.

Hereford, of course, very famous as the home of, essentially, Mott the Hoople.

So it's got a musical heritage, has Hereford.

And that was a good song.

I shall check them out.

stuff fall on her.

She mentioned that terrorist attack on, I guess, Hereford, that air base in England a few days ago.

Do you know that they let them go on bail?

Yeah, I saw that, and I was upset about that because what do we have at that air base? What did they come after? B-1 bombers.
