Thank you @pgn @BobM @Cleoriff @jonsie 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your award

@jonsie - no problem with one of your answers... I couldn`t penalise you for spelling and your answer was close enough anyway.

btw just to let everyone know and give you some idea of the type of questions in my new quiz book;

the two questions from my new quiz book were...

- the name of the bone in the lower jaw

- the name of the fictional town in Hi De Hi
