Thank you @MI5 and @TheresaV 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done both of you on your awards

The Hampshire weed question caught a lot of quizzers out and was ranked as "difficult" in my quiz book.

 

I hope everyone likes the categories and at least some of the questions in today`s WRQ which is now up on a separate thread.

Cuckooland aside, which I had never heard of before, I think that was a medium-to-hard quiz overall, weed notwithstanding, yew'll understand 🤪

Well done all, and thank you @Mi-Amigo for a challenging set of questions - I bet the answers were as challenging for you to review 🤓👍

Thank you @TallTrees @jonsie  @pgn 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards - even though a couple of questions were difficult and/or head-scratchers.

It was fun to see the answers and the comments made.
