@gmarkjHad you watched I Love My Garden on Mon night TV, you would have seen Alan Titchmarsh talking about 'pleaching these plant stems round a fence'.

[jonsie]

That's fair enough @Mi-Amigo 

I got a Jane message that I didn't want to reply to before I had more information

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @jonsie 

Much appreciated.

[jonsie]

Sorry to miss the quiz @Mi-Amigo 

I had my answers all ready but life got in the way!

I do know my answer for the higway code sign was incorrect (multiple pile up )

Oddly, only one of the triangle signs makes into the UK's "Most misunderstood", but not that one, @jonsie:

Thanks @pgn 

Now everyone has something interesting to study - and memorise - for a possible "odd question" in a future WRQ
