@Cleoriff @RafaC @MI5 @pgn @gmarkj @BobM @TallTrees @lewys-gp @Martin-O2 @jonsie

Apologies. There is a typo in Q8 in this quiz - which reads

Q8 FOOD & DRINK 2 Mexata, a brandy based liqueur, comes from which country ?

The question should read

Q8 FOOD & DRINK 2 METAXA a brandy based liqueur, comes from which country ?

I hope this does not spoil the quiz for those who have yet to send me a pm with their answers, or for those who have already pmd me.

If any of those who have already sent me a pm wish to change their answer to Q8, they may do so [but don`t have to if you are happy with answer given].

Apologies again for the typo.

I'd figured that one, @Mi-Amigo - the odd typo keeps us on our toes all 😆!

Damned awkward, some of these ones!
