    And for those of you that like to stretch your brains and your researching ability I'll be posting another one that is certainly not easy. I'm working on it.

        It won't be part of this quiz but a separate one completely. It's one that I devised about 14 years ago. It has a lot of obscure questions, and a few not obscure, the answers to most of which can be found by researching. It's something to keep you occupied when the weather isn't good enough for being in the garden or for something to do for a change. There are no pictures! :)

        It won't be ready for a while as it needs totally revamping because there have been a number of changes in the forum platform that have turned some of the punctuation into gobbledegook :doh:

                      @HarryS there will be plenty of time and I shall give clues if I can think of them.

                      I have lots more prepared already. :yikes:

                      It will be at least a week before I give some answers. I shan't post more questions until I think people are stumped.
