Good grief @Mi-Amigo!

Good job I read the date in Q1. It reminded me there was more than one Jethro Tull. 😂

Thanks for bringing a smile to my face on this cold and wet morning.

Expecting a few guesses for this one, @Mi-Amigo. Definitely know a few if I have a hard enough think.

Thank you @lewys-gp .

None of the questions in today`s WRQ are from my new quiz book nor is any question rated "difficult", although a couple might need thinking about.

Your guesses might pay off. Look forward to pm with your answers later.
