 Now we all know of collective nouns like a "Murder" of Crows. But how many unusual ones can you think of? (looking in books is cheating but who's to know?) Let's start off with a "Ring" of telephones and a "Pong" of dustbins.

I believe the Tower of London posesses an "Unkindness" of ravens.

An Annecdote (sp?) of retired people?
A Burdon of beaurocrats?
A Brash of Americans?
A Queue of Englishmen?
A Hinderance of managers?
A Delay of Circle-Line trains?

Right we all know that when a train is put to bed in a depot it is referred to as "Stabled" I often wondered what a group of stabled trains in a depot is called?
