So. Many. Lists.
My best 2 comments:
I wonder how many O2 restaurants (and other outlets) are run by SSP (owned or franchisee). At least 1 (AMT, owned brand) a but I bet high single digits at least. For comparison Waterloo station food/drink vending is majority SSP (even the M&S).
Constituencies: if these had been colour coded based on the incumbents, then I suspect North Norfolk would be an outlier, having reverted to LibDem.

The number of different brands of ice lolly that Lyons Maid produced in 1973, I wonder if they had so many because they rotated the range through the year, a flavour doesn't come to mind for 9 of them - I'm assuming Jungle Jim was exotic fruit and Red Devil was something like strawberry.

Andorra is a co-principality, but not a monarchy in the usual sense of the term, the co-princes being (pro tem and ex-officio) the President of the French Republic (i.e. Emmanuel Macron)and the Bishop of Urgell (i.e.Josep Lluís Serrano Pentinat).
