Subject: BS: Initial Quiz (S)
Probably an easier quiz. At the club tonight there was one score of 19/20. I left the club, got into the car, and the answer to #16 was playing on Radio2.
All answers start with the same letter.

Usual request: Please do not answer in the thread. Claim the number you score. I will reply to PMs.
