Was he a "confirmed bachelor", a misogynist or just plain jaffa? Or maybe all 3.

He is named after a town in Lincolnshire. Does that mean that is where his distant ancestors are from too.

His son Robert, was in Washington when his father was killed, was also on the scene when President Garfield was shot in 1881, and when President McKinley was assassinated in 1901. How ghost was seen on a grassy knoll in Dallas on 22/11/1963

Few years back I was in Washington and did the tourist stuff including a trip to the Washington monument - the big obelisk thing.

On a short tour which included some American school kids / parents and the guide asks the kids if anyones know why it's called the Washington monument.

Silence, so the guide asks if anyone knows who the first American president was. Again nothing from the kids so the guide asks if any of the parents want to help, parent puts his hand up and proudly states "It's Abe Lincoln"

The colour Lincoln green is more blue than green. Regardless of that, to tell you the truth it is a bit rubbish as colours go.

Lincolnshire sausages are my favourite.

Sage is one of the additional ingredients which gives them their unique flavour.

Sage green is more green than blue - unlike Lincoln green which (as previously mentioned) is more blue than green.

Generally speaking, it's a sh1thole of a county.

But its fine meat products, cabbages and windmills make a good case for it not being the worst (or should I say wurst?).

THese are the credits for the film 'The Numbers Station' featuring John Cusack which was filmed in Rendlesham, sharp eyed viewers might recognise some of the scenes from about 2 minutes 40 onwards.
