That's me stumped now...sorry Ada!!

[TheGoodGuy]

Ooooh.... sorry Ruby,

How about a General 70's & 80's and a TV & Movie quiz next Friday with the odd nasty thrown in?
Will that be OK?

Ada.

[Ruby]

oh oh..but a guess at no 12 as he was in the paper today..Sir Walter Raleigh ?

[GlosRFC]

I thought his name was Jack Cohen though?

[Ruby]

Sounds good to me Ada...always have a go at the ol' quizzes...thanks very much!! :D

[TheGoodGuy]

Ruby,

12. Correct.

Ada.

[GlosRFC]

Had a conflab with the missus about the icosothingy and she doesn't have a clue. But I think it's got 20 sides so I'll submit that as my guess :)

[presto]

9. Which football club finished bottom of the table in the first season of the Premiership?
swindon town?
possibly oldham

[TheGoodGuy]

Glos,

You have a very good point of argument there....

The real answer is....

The first three letters of the name came from TE Stockwell - the name of the tea supplier he took over - while the final two were the first letters of his own surname....COhen.

Once again I stand corrected.
Better give up this quiz lark giving out dodgy questions!!!!!

Well done Glos...

Ada.

[GlosRFC]

That's okay - as quizmaster you always have the inalienable right to determine what's correct or not :D
I just remember there was a connection with tea for some strange reason.

I'm still trying to figure out the secretary answer. I'm pretty sure it was Jo something and she was a spin doctor for the Education or Industry minister.

[TheGoodGuy]

Glos,
15. Correct.

Ada.

[samantha1303]

[TheGoodGuy]

Big C,
8. Correct.

Sam,
13. As there seems to be a number of things called French White, I think it is best I give the answer I was looking for to this question......TALCUM POWDER.
