INITIALS MAPS FLAGS CARS NURSERY RHYMES ALPHABET COLOURS CLOTHES

In the last "Odd Questions" edition of WRQ - on Wed 07 July - everyone who took part was awarded a Thinker. Six of the subjects in that quiz will be in Monday`s WRQ - inc "CLOTHES"; but there will be two new subjects - ALPHABET and COLOURS.
