@pgn 

Yes the wonderful menfolk went off to lunt, whilst the females got out their embroidery I expect!! 🙄

No doubt the women rang the bell for the butler to clear the dishes whilst the maids did the dirty job of washing up. Very Downton Abbey. 😂 Thanks for a great quiz @Mi-Amigo and well done everyone.

[MI5]

Thanks @Mi-Amigo and well done all.

[Dave-O2]

1  is a start 😂

Congrats to everyone who took part

Sorry for missing this (was in Manchester visiting friends and painting walls and skirting boards) but looks a good one.

Will have to see if I can shoe-horn slubberdegullion into conversation later!
