Same @gmarkj that's what I was expecting.

The Beatles one though, was the only answer I was 100% sure about 😊

Thanks @Mi-Amigo and well done everyone!

The golf one had to be St Andrews, so shocked that was a curve ball. 😂 I had a feeling I would struggle on that WRQ and I wasn't wrong. Great effort to see a couple of 8 from 8's though. Tough one for me!

Thanks Mi-Amigo and well done to the community for a minimum for 3 right. I'll head over to the Wednesday WRQ now. 😀
