Hi, Hello, How are you?

In the style of QI, here is a once-a-week quiz....

Every Thursday there will be a new question. You have until 11am (British time) Friday to answer.

The rules:

- post should read: title of quiz and answer

- only one answer per post, but you may post more than once

- you may agree with another poster and post same/similar answer (if correct will also get trophy)

- no googling the answer

- on Friday morning, incorrect answers will get the infamous *klaxon*;

  posters with the correct answer will get

Good luck

Here is today`s quiz:

Question: Where is the tower with the greatest lean?

We had this in a quiz some time ago. It's NOT Pisa if I remember.

It's in Germany on a church and called Surhausen or a similar name...

@Mi-Amigo

No I shall stick with my first answer. In the interest of fairness I have NOT checked the spelling so I know that's wrong....

[Glory1]

Thanks @Mi-Amigo but the only leaning tower I know is the one in Italy, so I'll gracefully bow out.

[Mi-Amigo]

The results:

@Glory1guessed Leaning Tower of Pisa, Italy - sorry *klaxon*

@Cleoriffguessed Leaning Tower of Suurhusen, Germany - sorry *klaxon* (not for wrong spelling)

The correct answer is:

the leaning keep of Bridgnorth castle, Shropshire, England

The facts:

Leaning Tower of Pisa, Italy leans 3.99 degrees

Leaning Tower of Suurhusen Germany leans 5.19 degrees

(info from official tourist boards)

Leaning Tower of Bridgnorth, Shropshire, England leans an incredible 15 degrees

 I know for a fact the leaning spire of Surrhusen was given as the correct answer in that quiz I went to. If only I could remember where it was I would go back and give them a smack in the chops

@Cleoriff

I tried to find that thread after you first mentioned it but couldnt find it via search on here.

Also if you`re dishing out smakcs in the chops, save one for wiki as they have it as the greatest lean

(now I can reveal why I asked folks not to google search as it throws up wiki and wrong answer).

Next week`s will be a whole lot easier
