Re: The Quiz! Wednesday 11th Feb


Hugh Walpole was correct. Yes, very good stories - have to say that I prefer Rogue Herries and Judith Paris to the two later ones - set around my favourite place in UK - Borrowdale.

Right - please talk amongst yourselves for a mo while I do the scores .....

That's where I got it from! The question, rather than the answer and I had to go and look it up. The National Trust magazine crossword puzzle!!!

Never done a quiz on here before! Are you allowed to use google, or do you have to actually know the answer?

Agree tho' I thought bits of the fortress were quite good. Didn't think Vanessa was a good finish tho'

Re: The Quiz! Wednesday 11th Feb


Thanks for a good quiz; hope I can come up with as good a selection next week! I'm better at answering than setting questions. I need to find some better trivia sites ....although the BBC's Knowledge magazine gives me some ideas....
