Ah - annoyed about the eggs (thought it was a dozen, not 5 dozen), but happy with a couple of other guesses coming good.

Well done everyone, thanks @Mi-Amigo and will check out today's questions soon.

Sorry to miss this WRQ Mi-Amigo, I had been playing catch up for quite some time before it all spilt over and I missed one. Glad to see so many players enjoyed it though and if I were to join in retrospectively I scored a modest 3 correct.

Also if I had of played I would have found a related GIF for it too, so although late, enjoy my contribution below and as always thanks to Mi-Amigo who never seems to miss a day! 👍
