Geocache Description:

A couple of puzzle caches that were published last month to mark August’s geocaching streak got us thinking of some other songs that have made us smile. And so an idea for a small series of puzzles was born.

Ernie the Fastest Milkman in the West

The Benny Hill Show with its innuendo and slightly sexist content would probably be considered too politically incorrect for primetime TV today. But as someone may sing later in this puzzle series, "some things that are politically incorrect can still be right" - and very funny. Every episode of the show ended with a chase scene filmed in the style of an old silent movie. The words "The chase is on!" were a great catch-cry of Mark's father - who's name was Ernie.....

The cache is at   South 36° 4A.BCD   East 174° 4E.FGH

A = How many bottles of milk get left at the first house?

B = The sum of the digits of Ernie’s age

C = The sum of the last two digits of Ernie’s phone number

D = The number of letters in the cart horse’s name

E = The first digit of Ernie’s phone number

F = How many weeks was this song at the top of the UK singles chart?

G = How many times a week does Ernie visit No. 22 for cocoa?

H = How many letters in the milkman’s name printed on the cart?
