4. Has to be good old Oscar, I think? Oscar Wilde?

PS - Sorry, Laurie but just the mention of Red Star parcels brought back so many memories of a frenetic and mostly happy period of my life when I discovered more about the location of Red Star offices around, beside, underneath and behind railway stations all over the country than any sane person would want to know. In some cases, I'm certain BR didn't want them found!

3. As Dita queried. I too heard that Skoda was made in Czechoslovakia, (my daughter's first car) But all those countries changed names, didn't they? Slovak-ish so maybe that place the lovely Goran Ivanisovik came from? Croatia?
