Yeh! Thank you 

Glad you enjoyed the little jokes along the way @Mi-Amigo 

 

I have been to Jodrell Bank just a few huge dishes upside_down

Seriously though great to have been there.

 

**  Nearby is a sand quarry this is more amazing

There are massive vehicles driving over the sand makes a car look like a toy and because

of the glare drivers wear "Rommel Goggles"!  looks like a movie set from Star Wars.

 

The Bank ~ suppose ought to know this ~ this is where BIG decisions are made to make or breakrage

Thank you @MI5  @TallTrees @Cleoriff 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards.

@TallTrees answers did make me laugh - especially Brian May getting a PhD for hair dressing joy

- as @Cleoriff said it`s comments like that which make the WRQ fun, which is what it is meant to be.

@Cleoriff - shows that sometimes a guess can pay off.

 

Hope all of you, and everyone else, likes some, if not all, of the questions in today`s Odd edition of WRQ which is now up on a separate thread.
