I've had an idea for a series of questions around things we know better by another name.
Some I suspect people will get easily - others I'm hoping will be more challenging.
How is Prince Igor better known ?

I think I've spotted where you've gone wrong there Taff.
See - he wasn't Welsh - he was called Igor the Swith because he was a tranvestite, nothing to do with vampires or Transylvania.
So that was PrinceSS Igor.. good try though.

the T34 was the WWII tank
