Not just that @jonsie. With me, I have no idea of what sea, channel is where (in relation to the areas of shipping). Add east, west, north or whatever, my brain starts spinning. When I saw @Mi-Amigo had posted the image, I knew I was totally wrong. 😂

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @MI5 @pgn @Cleoriff @BobM @jonsie 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards, and well done to those who got the shipping forecast question correct. As said, that question caught quite a few out, but is rated "very difficult" in the quiz book I took it from. 

[Oxonian]

Thank you @Mi-Amigo, one or two difficult questions therein. 

Well done all, a good contest ! 👍
