Glad you enjoyed the little jokes I popped in @Cleoriff 

I do remember in the distant past about Brian May ~ couldn't remember exacting but thought Hair!

Don't think he'd mindtongue_winking

Well done everyone.

Thank you @TheresaV 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on getting three star

In the past you got a Red Thinker for four correct answers and [without checking] think you may have got [or been close to getting] a Bronze Thinker for six correct answers.

Hope you like the questions in today`s WRQ which is now up on a separate thread.

Loved some of the answers - that nettle one was a stroke of luck, I nearly went for Nettlebed, a village in Oxfordshire.
Well done, all, and thanks for a whacky Bank Holiday quiz @Mi-Amigo - awful weather here on Monday, the quiz was a welcome distraction.
