Thanks @MI5

Looks like this one is "food for thought"?

Sorry you`re not liking some of these questions as much @gmarkj

but hope you find some you`ll have a go at

@Cleoriff

Yeh - a surprise, but it`s not coz a question is tricky but what it is [and that is all I`m saying for now]

I hope all of you, and all the regulars and any new members or those who haven`t taken part before, will join in when the quiz opens for pm with answers at 12 noon...

Good luck
