Great questions, @Mi-Amigo, and well done all.

So interesting that me, @RafaC, @J9el and @TallTrees said north for question 6 🤔☝️. I wonder if that's the most common default answer for any type of direction question!?

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @pgn @Cleoriff @lewys-gp 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards.

Thank you @pgn for information on the word widdershins. Like @Cleoriff  I love these weird words and its fun searching out strange ones for WRQ. As @lewys-gp said, I think that north may be a default answer [even if wrong] to questions about directions in pub quizzes 

I hope each of you, and everyone else, likes the categories and some, if not all, of the questions in today`s WRQ which is now up on a separate thread. 

[MI5]

Well done all and thanks @Mi-Amigo 

[gmarkj]

Well done everyone, and thanks for the gentle reminder @Mi-Amigo but time got the better of me yesterday.
Fingers crossed I win the battle today/tomorrow!

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @MI5 

Pleased you enjoyed the quz and well done on your award.

@gmarkj 

Sorry you had to miss out on the quiz but hope you get a chance to have a look and go at today`s WRQ.

[TallTrees]

No doubt it is a default answer OR what?

@lewys-gp 

Good one star for me in this set of questions @Mi-Amigo 

Well done All

[RafaC]

@lewys-gp with the results I've got, my question now is more like "where's North from here?" 😂

Well done everyone and thanks @Mi-Amigo!
