Rosemary and me are trying to do a difficult quiz about the olympics with 120 questions .This is the one I had thought of showing you but Rosemary doesn,t think it is fair asking you to help us with it.
Anyway,as you probably know,I am a health walk leader at Blackleach country park on Thursday mornings.This morning after the walk we had a party with a buffet meal and one of the members had done a quiz so I will show you this one.I'm sure you will get most of them.
TOWNS AND CITIES IN GREAT BRITAIN (including Isle of Wight)
Tha answers are in alphabetical order.In other words the first one begins with A and so on if you will excuse No 24.
1)The granite city -Aberdeen
2)Aqua Sulius,home of Miss Lunn -Bath
3)Capital city -Cardiff
4)White cliffs are seen here. -Dover
5)Capital city -Edinburgh
6)Quartz which sparks when srtuck. -Flint
7)Celtic and Rangers play here. -Glasgow
8)The body of a ship. -Hull
9)Beware of walking bare headed on the moor.-Ilkley

22)In any event normal people live here. -Ventnor

24)Close neighbour of Bournmouth (which if abbreviated as 25th December sometimes it would fit the alphabetical rule). -Christchurch

We were given 20 minutes to do this quiz.Rosemary and me scored 18 but somebody got them all right.

Before I put this picture quiz on I told you we were doing a difficult Olympics quiz. There were 120 questions and we did them all except 5. We have posted it off now and sent a SAE for the answers. It was a quiz where the consonants had been removed just leaving the vowels. These were the 5 we couldn,t do so see if you can do them .They are all T.V.presenters or pundits on the Olympics
111) -A- E -U- - - - E - 113) -A - - -O - - E -
116) - A - - - E - - I - - E - - 117) - E - - - - O - - E -
118) - - E- - A - - O - - E -
117 is a female, the others are male

I have just noticed that when I posted this the gaps have disappeared. No 111 is a 4 and an 8 , 113 is a 4 and a 6
116 is a 7 and a 7, 117 is a 5 and a 6 , 118 is a 7 and a 6
Can any of the mods put the gaps in ?

I think i would rather be in Azerbaijan than Aberdeen  Thats the best thing to do with Aberdeen Sweetpea, just not give it much thought!! But i don't really like any cities at all, well maybe Salisbury... |
