Not often there are no Silvers! Well done all, and early results too 👍

[BobM]

Thanks @Mi-Amigo - great quiz, but I found that one tough.

Happy enough with the result though and well done to everyone else. 👍

[MI5]

Had my doubts about the Peso but couldn't think of anything else.

Thanks @Mi-Amigo 👍

[Cleoriff]

Great quiz @Mi-Amigo and like @BobM I found it tough. Bit thrown with the dates of the Cope though. As far as I know it's still worn by some members of the clergy today 😂

Well done one and all 😊

[pgn]

That's correct, @Cleoriff - it's how they cope, I suspect 🤔

The one casually scanning the flyer he's about to step on gets me 🤣

[Cleoriff]

ESP abounds! I was about to post that very same picture @pgn 😂🤣
