    If we're looking at combined scores, I think I'm up to 58%, so the remaining 42% must be Fen Yokel :)

    There's a black country quiz. Perhaps you could try that?

    Did not know that. But I loathe ketchup. Brown's the colour for a sauce.

    Dr Who has made a good comeback these last few years. I've expressed a wish for Tomorrow's World to come back. Any NPs got a favourite/iconic TV series they should have revived?;)

    Done the Black country quiz. Got 100% or something. Surprised myself , but I did live in the "south Midlands" I believe. Nikkster would know whether that's right.

    I didn't know it, nor other of the City based questions, nor what people in suburbs might say :rotfl:. That question the answer to me was either Town ( capitalised) or shop names. I knew ones like tube lines and locations and Big Ben. Cannot remember percentage, it was several minutes ago know and I have since relocated.

    It'll be on catch up, won't it?

    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)
    Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

    Seems to me that back when we had hardly any telly we had really good telly and we knew exactly when everything was on.:D

    Two and a half-channels finishing at midnight, nothing by day except for a couple of toddler shows.
