[SaltergateBorn]

As some of us seem to have been placed under house arrest for the foreseeable future (I`m starting to go stir-crazy already) I`m posting this in the hope that it might provide a bit of light entertainment for a few of you. I used to organise quizzes many years ago and I once used this as a a bit of fun for the interval. I know I thought up a few of them myself (sorry!) but others I picked up from somewhere or other; long time ago now.

I`ll post the answers in a week or so - or whenever I remember, whichever comes sooner.
