Today`s WRQ is the second part of the three-part A to Z Quiz 6.

Instead of 8 questions - with two questions on each of four of the usual categories - there are 8 questions,

with one question on each of 8 subjects - each based on a letter of the alphabet

I - Initials; J - June; K - Killers; L - Latin; M- Motorways; N - Nursery Rhymes; O - Orange; P - Postcodes

The White Room Quiz is open to all members.

Those wishing to take part must pm me - @Mi-Amigo - their answers between 12 noon today [Mon] and
