@Mi-Amigo answers on there way over to you

1. I have heard of Sheffield and Rotherham at least. I live in London and can only think of the one running through the middle of the city 🙄
2. I know who was first on the moon.  Why was the first to drive a vehicle on the moon not as famous.  That could be a fortnight map, the moon.
3. Speleology. Is that a thing ? A real thing ?
4. I know one of the composers, cannot remember the other one.  Gimme the point ref! 😎
5. Guessing
6. Must have that answer correct
7. Where does @Mi-Amigo find these questions. A master scrabble player or the quiz book from Christmas
8. What?

To answer the questions and points in your post

3 Yes speleology is a real thing

4 wait and see 😀

7 where do I get the questions from ? A fair enough question. Some are taken from the numerous quiz books I have [inc one I had as a Xmas pressie from a neighbour, which I don`t use very often as it has some very tough questions in it]. Generally I come up with questions after looking through various books I have in my quite varied library - for example I might look through a science book and come across an interesting fact and then base a question around it - but I always check reliable sources before including such a question in a quiz.

@Spenny I'd say at least half of my guesses are uneducated ones 🤣

Yeah, I can definitely redact "educated" from my guesses too 😂. Knew a couple for definite though, luckily. @Spenny @RafaC
