100 things we didn't know this time last year
The BBC have listed a collection of 100 obscure but true facts from their posts during the year. Among these gems are the following:
63. It takes less energy to import a tomato from Spain than to grow them in [the UK] because of the artificial heat needed, according to Defra.
68. The Very Hungry Caterpillar has sold one copy every minute since its 1969 publication.
100. Musical instrument shops must pay an annual royalty to cover shoppers who perform a recognisable riff before they buy, thereby making a “public performance”.
