White Room Quiz - easier questions 2

[Mi-Amigo]

Welcome to this week`s

As mentioned in the Advanced Notice on Monday, this week`s White Room Quiz is eight "easier" questions selected from various quiz books, in which six questions are classed as "easy" and two are classed as "medium" - but I`m not saying which questions are in the "easy" or "medium" classes. 

There is no QI-style question, where the answer is not what everyone thinks it is.

Good luck, everyone
