That's quite a journey! Now get ready for "the ultimate journey of flavour and fire" with Heartbreaking Dawns 1498 Apricot and Trinidad Scorpion Hot Sauce. (The "Trinidad Scorpion" is one of the world's hottest chili peppers, so named because pointed end of the pepper is said to resemble a scorpion's stinger.)

The current world record for the men's 1500 metres is held by Hicham El Guerrouj of Morocco, who ran the distance at the 1998 Rome Grand Prix in 3 minutes 26 seconds exactly.

They're on 1502 now, so I can't overtake them, but I can equal them by taking you on a visit to OB Noodle House Bar 1502 at 4993 Niagara Avenue, San Diego, California.

Well into the 1500s, there is still the odd E-number, such as E1503, which is castor oil.

Really? How interesting, then, that you should find the Monroe, Wisconsin branch of said American Red Cross at 1505, 9th St.

Re: Counting
An organization with a very clear aim and purpose - unlike The American Society for Quality, whose section 1506 is based in Jacksonville, Northeast Florida. Among their aims is to "provide opportunities for quality professionals to improve their awareness and understanding of quality improvement tools" and "be a source of quality information, knowledge and skills for organizations in our local communities". Does this mean anything at all to anyone?

Not really! But if it's quality you're after, and you happen to be in the tailoring business, you could do worse than use the Singer 1507 Sewing machine.

When the Financial Conduct Authority recently brought in new regulations governing the interest rates charged by payday lenders, Wonga cut its annual percentage rate from 5853% to a mere 1509%. What a bargain!

I don't know much about stock market indexes, but there's one called the Hang Seng in Hong Kong - which funnily enough is where the Zone1511 broadband phone service is based.

They didn't have broadband in 1512. But that was the year when Henry VIII sent 10,000 troops to fight for Spain on the border with France. It was a disaster. Many died from illness; the others returned home with nothing accomplished.
