[MI5]

Thanks @Mi-Amigo 

Well done all

[gmarkj]

Ah, the good old TheresaV answer. Nice to see that pop back up again!

Well done everyone. Some real doozy's in there @Mi-Amigo 

[pgn]

I guess 1983 would have been challenging for @TheresaV as Lord (Lady) Mayor of London, now I think on it 😂

Great quiz, @Mi-Amigo and good response levels too 👍

[TallTrees]

Hi @Mi-Amigo 

Gosh the Red Thinker was totally unexpected and great! 

Well done everyone.

Must remember Paprika 🙄

[Comben]

Not a great WRQ for me but I have also done a lot worse in the past so I'll take the 3 I got.
Love this TheresaV answer that two of you put. 😂 I decided to just make up a name and see what happens. 😅
Thanks @Mi-Amigo I certainly learnt a thing or two. 👍
