Didn't have a clue with the Greek alphabet and took a guess with the flag which was wrong. Happy with the result though.

Thank you @Mi-Amigo

Thank you @pgn @gmarkj @BobM @MI5 @TheresaV

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done each of you on your award.

Seems everyone likes and does well with "Odd Questions" editions of WRQ.

Today`s WRQ is now up on separate thread. I hope everyone likes some, if not all, the questions, with a couple of questions which I think might be headscratchers

it was a guess for me with the Visitor centre, which is stupid as it's so easy (when you know). Well done one and all. Great quiz @Mi-Amigo . I like the new section of clothes.

Thank you @Cleoriff

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your award.

As "clothes" seem to be popular as a subject in "Odd Questions" edition of WRQ, I might included another "clothes" question in a future "Odd Questions" edition, which would, no doubt, be more popular than a pesky Morse Code question
