Welcome to

white-room-quiz2.png

 

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.

Those wishing to take part must pm me - @Mi-Amigo - with their answers between 12 noon today [Monday] and 11.59pm tomorrow [Tuesday]

 

I hope our regular quizzers
