Daily Quiz anyone?
"If you are stuck at home and bored like me. How about exercising the old grey cells? I have for a number of years run quiz nights and couple of times a year. I was due to do one tomorrow which is now cancelled So I have a bank of questions sitting in my computer's hard drive. They are quite eclectic in their nature. I am thinking I could put up a set of questions for which you write down your answers. After 30mins or so I will put up the answers. DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS. before I post the right answers. You mark your own answers and post your score. I will then record the scores and at the end of the ""lockdown"" we will see who is WHO's brainbox supreme. Obiviously no looking up the answers (you only cheat yourselves) Word of warning these won't be easy questions as they have been devised for teams of six. Forming teams on here might be too problematic. So I'll try to pick out the easier questions. Any interest?"

"6 in the end. Thought Iron Maiden were ""from"" Stratford. Bothered. Is a London band EVER from one district anyway? Seems unlikely."

SoS I will allow your appeal re worms. Even though bookworms consume books they and the other pests are not worms but grubs or larvae. The appeal re corundum is rejected on two grounds 1. The test was to know what Corundum is 2. The TV show is Conundrums which is plural and a different word. Nice Try What do you now make your score?

"Geoff P You are right on both Gerrard and Weybridge The trouble is that when I compiled the questions they were written to be read out, so often there are spelling mistakes due to my lack of typing, spelling and editing skills, So apologies but you illustrate why I have never done quizzes for prizes more than a bottle wine! And it makes easy for me to say my answers if not the questions:) are the right ones. So 8 it is then."

"Oh, and it's Weybridge, Surrey, not Weighbridge. Named after the river Wey. Not because there's a weigh bridge there."

Re: Daily Quiz anyone?
"8. Out of interest, I recall 'The World Turned Upside Down' a song covered by the then-socialist Billy Bragg in the 1980s. It was on the Between The Wars Ep on Go! Discs in 1985. It lyric was the reason I knew The Diggers + St George's Hill made sense. The Diggers weren't really a ""sect"". They were protestant agrarian communists, just believe in common ownership of land. A sect makes them sound nuts. However, I now read that The Diggers ""leader"" (not mentioned by name in the song) was in fact GERRARD Winstanley, not Gerald. So, only in hindsight and being nit-picking, the question is wrong... So it be could argued to be false. Even though I had to look all that up, do I get an extra point?! Ha!"
