| Set: | 5 person X |
|---|---|
| Music: | The Morning Star |
| Trivia: | Originally called Little Yarmouth because it started life in Great Yarmouth. Later renamed after the talking hat in Harry Potter. Later intermittently renamed again (when the Harry Potter references were getting a bit old) in honour of the footpath crossroads in the middle of Parker's Piece in Cambridge, where the University and Town are said to meet. Yup, we're confused too. |
