Hi @Mi-Amigo answers are with you  😁

[Spenny]

I think I am fine with the first few of those.

lbs and cwt had me scratching my head.  At least I was around for the coin that was taken out of circulation in '84.

Glad you asked about the coin rather than the year 🤣

Ooooh that was difficult! My guesses have been sent over @Mi-Amigo

No good with international dial codes (except USA and UK), and thought the hundred weight question was a little obvious.

Pleased with a red, shame I couldn't get one more for a bronze!
