We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

Hmmm....that is a puzzler, Dave. Let's assume that all of the first team of the England World Cup winning side in '66 were married, those must all be the missuses. And Pickles found the Cup after it had been stolen from display.
So, I'll take a stab at it. None of the missuses actually touched the Cup whilst Pickles obviously did (if only with his nose, presumably).
Is that it?
Not quite what I was looking for.
I've made the assumption that all the boys of '66 were married so you're on the right track. Don't want to hear from Davey about how "well actually, Martin Peters was engaged, but..."
It's actually a bit more misogynistic than your answer. Keep thinking about this one.
How about the WAGs were all blamed for the loss of the Cup and Pickles found it in the backyard? Am I warmer? Dave, help me out here. Gooner's got a real riddler!
You were closer with the last guess. I'll answer this one in a future post because I want to give the LOB Blog Trivia Master from Scotia a go.
C'mon Davey, quit sulking that you came last in the Thanksgiving "pool" tournament and answer the question.
How about this - Pickles was allowed on the double-decker with the lads while they showed off the Cup through the streets of London, while the WAGs weren't? Closer?
I haven't been ignoring this question at all. I have been thinking about it. I had no idea until I started typing this comment and something came to me.
How about Pickles was invited into the victorious dressing room!!
Very close.
The answer is that the wives were not invited to the victory dinner.
Pickles was and as a reward for finding the cup, he was allowed to lick the player's plates clean.
Hilarious!
