Thank you @Cleoriff for your kind words about the quizzes.
I love researching and arranging them as it is an escape for me from what is going on all around us.
As for @O2Faisal comment about all those "keeping the wheels in motion", he is so right - and, in case anyone is just viewng this and may have missed it, this has been acknowledged in a special thread -
