Today doing a crossword I have learnt that a Polish cavalryman with a sword was called an uhlan.

Basic general knowledge surely?

I learnt that if you hang washing on the line before you go to work it will rain. If you leave it until you get home it will be sunny all day and then rain as soon as you hang it out in the evening.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rivets

A rivet is a mechanical fastener consisting of a smooth cylindrical shaft with heads on either end, the second one formed in position. The heads are somewhat larger than the diameter of the hole into which the rivet has been inserted. Generally one head is factory formed. The other is formed by clinching metal after the rivet has been inserted.
