Thank you @BobM @lewys-gp @pgn

Lots of Silver Thinkers this time.

@Cleoriff 

I wasn`t correcting your post about @TallTrees Silver Thinker, just remember it but for the life of me can`t remember when or which WRQ quiz she got her first Silver Thinker...

I don`t know what @pgn and everyone else will make of the questions in Monday`s WRQ - given there will be two History questions....
