Grateful I am
Much agricultural and industrial history did we do at school. Fascinated was I.
On a similar theme, what was Jethro Tull's main invention (not including rock bands with a flautist)?

Agriculture it is!
Durham, Norfolk and Berkshire all saw inventors revolutionise agriculture in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Jethro Tull was Berkshire.
..and finger pointing isn't far off the mark either.

Wasn't that the nom de plume that Ronnie Barker used to submit scripts for sketches on the Two Ronnies Shows?

How about someone of either Oriental or Muslim heritage, as a facility for washing one's parts after "performing" is common in both these areas. And probably female as well.

Well we still don't know who invented the bidet. Who asked the question again?
