Great quiz this week, good spread of questions, @Mi-Amigo, thank you. Well done all - the hallmark and the flag nearly did for me, but I remember something about St Piran and then the cycling team uniforms clinched it 😂

[gmarkj]

Pleased with that - couple of those were educated guesses!
Well done everyone. Looking forward to the Monday questions...
