There was NO Gold Thinker
I think the technical term for that, as cited on my school reports, is "Room for improvement" 
Many thanks, @Mi-Amigo - a great idea for a themed quiz, along with all the other Valentine Day events on the Forum, so much effort by all.
Well done all those who got stars or thinkers, most enjoyable!

I failed badly with Scunthorpe but did ok with the Cote d'Azur as we have been there. Back in the day when we used to drive to France to stay in caravans with the kids. (All so easy back then) 
Anyway, well done everyone. Great quiz again @Mi-Amigo. Must have took a lot of work to find 10 Valentine type questions..

Thank you @TheresaV @LukasB @pgn @Cleoriff @TallTrees for your kind comments.
It was a lot of fun putting a Valentine-themed quiz together, with some difficult questions, as seen by the fact that no-one got a Gold Thinker for 10 correct answers.
Well done, each of you for the award you did get and pleased you all enjoyed the quiz and found it fun, because that is what the White Room Quiz is all about - a bit of fun in these times.
