Thanks @Mi-Amigo 

Well done all.

Happy with that score - M40 has been travelled many times, Ad Astra is from the film and I knew about the FTSE and nonogram.

Pearl was a complete guess and had no idea for the farthing or post code.

Thanks @Mi-Amigo !

[BobM]

Thanks as always @Mi-Amigo for another good quiz.

Well done everyone who took part 👍

I was lucky I have 2 cousins live in Middlesborough. Mum was born in June and hated all the gemstones relating to her birthday. She only liked sapphires or jet. Not a problem for dad as I had to buy it with his money 😂 Well done everyone.

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @MI5 @gmarkj @BobM @Cleoriff 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards

I hope you, and everyone else, likes the questions in today`s WRQ which is now up on separate thread. 

[RafaC]

Happy with the results even though I didn't get a thinker.

Well done everyone and thanks @Mi-Amigo! Now off to part 3. 

[jonsie]

Excellent quiz @Mi-Amigo 

Glad I can still think in proper money.....

Hard to imagine 960 farthings in my pocket for a supermarket trolley 🤣

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @RafaC and @jonsie

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards

[pgn]

Well done all, a Super quiz, @Mi-Amigo 👍

[Comben]

Not my best result but I'm still pretty happy to get a few right and learn some trivia on the ones I got wrong. I particularly enjoyed the extra birthstone information @Mi-Amigo so thanks for that and also for organising this theme for the WRQ's, a particular fav of mine. 😁
