The Biblical Judean reference to Abraham as a sheep-farmer then is what I took in my reasoning to the statue of Abraham that is in the Anglican cathedral in Liverpool, which was one of commissioned works of the sculptor, Sean Rice, who has a connection to Nottingham by the Robin Hood monument there that was cast to a design of his sculpture work and was aided by a £5,000 donation by the Nottingham industrialist Philip E.F.Clay

Gosh - how long did it take you to figure-out all that?
If I wore a hat, I'd take it off to you.
My Judean sheep-farmer was Jesse, Jesse Boot was the Nottingham business man, and Jesse Honey was Mastermind Champion in 2010, where his chosen specialist subject was Liverpool Anglican Cathedral. [And I thought that was convoluted!]
Over to you to set the next one.

In what two-series TV programme was the iconic philosophical statement made in the opening sequence....
"Do not despise the snake for having no horns, for who is it to say it will not become a dragon"

Only guessing, but it makes me think of Kung Fu with David Carradine.

How many Cities are there in the County Palatine of Lancashire?
Name them.
And where is there a Cathedral that isn't in a City?
Name them.
And where is there a Cathedral that isn't in a City?
Regarding the second part I was going to say St Asaph but I think that is a city now.

Assuming that you still mean the second half of your conundrum to be in the same County Palatine of Lancashire, I will say Blackburn.

Unfortunately not.
The County Palatine is the Ceremonial area recognised by Her Majesty the Queen & Duke of Lancaster.
Keep trying!

It was kind of postage stamp used in Asia & started in what is now Pakistan
Xenophon PCDGS

Many think this to be the case but there was an earlier use of this title of Scinde Dawk.

In that case it was the name given to the runners who carried the post.

I have only been able to offer one submission for purposes of verification so far:-

United Hospitals Challenge Cup.
Ulster Schools Cup.
Calcutta Cup.
Open Floor if correct.

I am not sure whether the Ulster one counts as its not for adults but as I didn't specify its close enough. I had the Siam cup contested between Jersey & Guernsey as the third oldest after the Hospitals (a famous scene in the Doctor film with Kenneth Moore rescuing a Gorilla mascot comes to mind!) & Calcutta. Yours or open floor.

Since deltic1989 intimated OPEN FLOOR if he was correct....
Thinking in a more wider-understood sense, which pioneer was "The Oldham egg-collector" ?
