Thanks @Mi-Amigo - Good one and happy with the result.

Well done everyone 👍

Tenné, Tawny - I suppose they have to use the accented word to sound suitably heraldic ppppffffttttt! 🤣

Good quiz, @Mi-Amigo - nice to see my first thought of the M180 river was also chosen in error by someone else - until the right one came to me later in the day 👍

Time for a look at today's offering 🤔

Thank you @TallTrees @Cleoriff @MI5 @gmarkj @BobM @pgn 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards - given that the heraldry question was hard.

Hope you like today`s WRQ - third part of A - Z - which is now up on separate thread
