Thank you @MI5 @Cleoriff @pgn @gmarkj 

Well done on your awards - and as for the Caribbean island question, I would have got it wrong if I`d been taking part 😂

In my befuddled brain @Mi-Amigo, I didn't even think of Cuba as an Island. I just thought it was a country. Which it is. An Island Country. 😂

[Comben]

I found this WRQ very difficult so not surprised by my low score and like many others I didn't realise Cuba would be the answer to the Caribbean question but then again I didn't know the answers to many questions this time. 😅 I'm happy to at least score two point though and liked reading the rest of the answers.

Thanks @Mi-Amigo, I'm off to do your Love Edition WRQ now, then I'll be back to hosting my 'Guess the Film' game as part of the community event in a little while. 😊
