And I can't remember who it was that found this well.

Next, we've got a meeting between two of the most prominent figures in history from around the turn of the last century, Florence Nightingale and the Aga Khan Sir Sultan Mohammed Shah.
As Rachel Naylor reports, using a remarkable interview from the BBC archives, these individuals from seemingly diverse backgrounds had a wide-ranging and influential discussion.
It's spring 1898 and Florence Nightingale, the founder of Modern Nursing, has invited 20-year-old Aga Khan III, a prominent Muslim leader, to tea at her home in London, as he told the BBC in 1950.
They had a wide-ranging discussion about faith, healthcare and even Queen Victoria.
Sir Sultan Mohammed Shah, known as the Aga Khan, was the 48th Imam of Shia Ismaili Muslims.
He was known for promoting Muslim rights in India and was the first president of the All India Muslim League.
Florence Nightingale, nicknamed the Lady with the Lamp, led a group of nurses to care for wounded soldiers during the Crimean War, revolutionising nursing.
Considering that she was an invalid and had many physical difficulties, it was remarkable how well she looked and what an impression of health and strength she made
Florence had contracted Crimean fever in 1855 and was often bedridden with chronic fatigue, but she still continued to campaign to improve health standards.
