Great quiz, @Mi-Amigo - well done all. Hope you all partake of Pysanka, or similar. Or you could go for hot tick buns, as the Iceland stores seem to have rebranded them. Made some people Cross, that did! 🤣

[Cleoriff]

Well done all and thanks @Mi-Amigo for a great quiz.

@pgn'Hot Tick Buns'?? Why the rebranding by Iceland? Don't they like the word 'cross' or something?

Or are they trying just to appear clever to appeal to different religions? 🙄😂

[pgn]

All a bit of a trial by all accounts @Cleoriff

Happy with my results, found it a tough one so can't complain.

Thanks @Mi-Amigo - well done all. 👍

[TallTrees]

Thanks for posting that bit of nonsense  from Iceland @pgn 

Thought you may have had a typo error 🤔 

"One" needs an inner strength to rise above all the BS which is money/power/grabbing led.

😁

[Oxonian]

That was fairly hard @Mi-Amigo, certainly one to keep us on our toes. 👍

Well done everyone.

Have an enjoyable Easter weekend @Mi-Amigo ! 😀  

[MI5]

Thanks @Mi-Amigo 

Well done all.
