No member is to post any answer on the thread.

No googling, wiki, youtube search for answers.

As usual, there is one QI-style question, where the answer is not what most people assume.

I have tried to make this quiz a fair balance of questions, although one question may prove tricky.

This quiz - as are all White Room Thursday Quizzes - are open to all members.

I hope those who have taken part in a previous White Room Thursday Quiz will take part, and that new members, and those who have not previously played, will join in.

Please feel free to post any comments on the questions - but not the answers - on this thread.

If you have any questions about the quiz, please ask and I will reply here.

Thank you everyone for your interest.

I hope everyone enjoys this People`s Choice edition of the White Room Thursday Quiz.

Apologies everyone for my spelling mistakes in the questions in this week`s quiz and hope they don`t have too much of an effect on you submitting your answers.

Good luck, everyone...
