That quiz was up my street, so to speak @Mi-Amigo
I like nursery rhymes for their under-lying message content!
I knew the logo for Lacoste as I like animals ~ yes ~ of all kinds😁🤔🙄
Well done everyone some very good results.
Next quiz ~ well some are good and in some I am definitely weak really depends on question.
Thank you the quiz and marking my answers.
Bye for now TT
