Welcome to

There are two White Room Quizzes each week - one on Monday and one on Wednesday.

Today`s White Room Quiz is another "Odd Questions" edition. Whilst compiling last Wednesday`s

White Room Quiz, I came across further odd questions, which didn`t make it into last Wednesday`s quiz

So, today`s quiz will be eight "odd questions" with one question on each of these subjects

ANTIQUES SLANG COLOURS ANAGRAMS LANGUAGE DANCE TIME FASHION

The White Room Quiz is open to all members.

I hope our regular quizzers
