(Ironic) Fact: Reginald Mitchell, designer of the Supermarine Spitfire, generally held to be one of the most beautiful fighter aircraft ever built, was born near and grew up in... Stoke-on-Trent.
(Stoke's other famous sons includeE.E. Smith, captain of the R.M.S. Titanic, the two Josiahs (Wedgewood and Spode), and some fella called Robbie Williams who fancies himself a singer). Fact: Lewisian gneiss is the oldest rock in Britain. Fact: I am a genius. (One of the above may or may not be a total lie; I'll leave you to guess which.)
