I hope everyone enjoyed this White Room Quiz and will join in Monday`s White Room Quiz, which will be one of the popular "Odd Questions" editions with 8 questions but not from the usual categories.

Over the weekend, I will be searching out and choosing one question on each of these subjects

   INITIALS  MAPS   CARS  FLAGS   CODES [not Morse Code]  MOTORWAYS  MEASUREMENTS   CLOTHES

I hope our regular quizzers, anyone who has either taken part in a previous WRQ or has never had a go, and our new members will take part in Monday`s White Room Quiz.  

Thank you everyone for making this fun.
