really sorry to mess people about but I was given this question by someone else and he said it had nothing to do with his question 16. I've just spoken to him again and found out more info and it does relate to his question 16 so he's got the answer now.
So now I'm going to kill him for making me look (even more of ) an idiot.
Thanks everyone
The Kilburn Mouseman is very famous in Yorks so I guessed. The Head of my old school had one of his desks in her office and we saw this mouse every time we were summoned.
There is/was a pubi n Kilburn [where Mousy Thompsons is] and if anyone could count the number of carved mice in the pub they got a free meal.As far as I know no one ever won the meal.
