TLA City here this morn? 😳

Thanks for a ball-breaker of a quiz this week, @Mi-Amigo - my initial reaction was tempered a little by the time I had got through my third cuppa and a full tube of Jaffa Cakes 🤣
The Nelson Muntz baseball gif was, to coin a phrase, a GIFt 📦😁

Thank you @pgn 

This was one of the hardest WRQ with some tough questions.
