I hope everyone enjoyed this White Room Quiz and will join in Monday`s White Room Quiz.

A little while ago, some of the regular questions suggested subjects for WRQ questions; so Monday`s WRQ will be 8 questions with two questions on each of these categories - PLACES   WORDS   MUSIC  +  

SPORT [one on Cycling - suggested by quizzer; one on F1 - suggested by another quizzer]

I shall search out the questions over the weekend.

Thank you everyone for making the WRQ fun.
