Well done ! I couldn't get any of them Sorry to be picky  but Gaelic reffers to the Scottish Highlands, Ireland, and the Isle of man. I know 'cause I'm Welsh. So no 16 isn't right. Sorry I don't mean to burst your bubble Heather ... You've done well |

No 16 will probably be right in the terms of the quiz though, as I expect the setters didn't know the precise definition |

I,m afraid "underwear"is too many letters.Anyway thanks for all your answers and comments so please continue.
I will send Heather an email and she can look at your answers herself.
