That's because I came close to forgetting a week or so ago @Mi-Amigo

Beautiful picture of Whistlejacket. Had that framed picture here for a long time, then my sister asked for it.

As she had done so much for me over the years I let her have it.

Couldn't find a gif of Whistlejacket though Lol

To our regular quizzers

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

and anyone who wishes to have a go at this quiz,

I`m sorry there is an error in Question 1 which should read

Q1 GEOGRAPHY 1 What is the name of the peninsula in Canada, with Hudson Bay to the west, Hudson Strait

to the north, and Gulf of St Lawrence to the south-east ?

not Gulf of St Lawrence to the south-west.

If anyone who has already sent a pm with their answers wishes to change the answer to this question, I`ll accept it as the error is my fault. I hope that those who have not yet sent their answers see this notification.

Sorry. I hope this doesn`t spoil the quiz.

Don't worry, @Mi-Amigo - I live in a semi-permanent state of directional 'challengement' 😆

On my driving test, I executed a left turn, the examiner asked me to safely pull up on the left when convenient.

"I said 'Take the next RIGHT' "(actually heading back to the Test Centre!)...

"Now please execute a 3-point turn here, drive to and rejoin the main road to the left, and then take the next right in the direction of the test centre, when safe to do so.".

I passed first time, and the examiner did congratulate me on a good recovery without getting flustered as he handed me my Pass certificate 😁
