Subject: RE: That rarity, an Alphabet Quiz! From: greg stephens Date: 20 Dec 03 - 08:35 AM Well, this seems to be about the Great War, and also possibly American, so there are no queens involved, which argues against this being the right answer. I still think the Ex-Soldier title fits in with IanC's policy on legitimate ways of including an X in a quiz answer. I await developments. |

So we're looking for ten something |
Subject: RE: That rarity, an Alphabet Quiz! From: greg stephens Date: 21 Dec 03 - 01:54 PM Youre right,Snuffy, back to the drawing board. I'll go back to looking for impoverished soldiers and their miserable ten pence or bob wages or pensions. |
Subject: RE: That rarity, an Alphabet Quiz! From: IanC Date: 22 Dec 03 - 12:59 PM To all Sorry ... I more or less forgot about this one. The Mudcat went down, then I've been ill. Good work with X. Some lovely inventive answers I might even use once you've forgotten about them. Wolfgang's 'ten bob a week' is getting very close. Also, I haven't cheated to the extent of making it, say XXX pounds. There's only one X. The Queen is Victoria. ;-) |

Subject: RE: That rarity, an Alphabet Quiz! From: IanC Date: 31 Dec 03 - 08:01 AM OK, no takers ... so. The song I was thinking about was A. E Housman's "Grenadier" from Last Poems which is usually called Thirteen Pence a Day. It's here in the forum. There's another song, also in the forum, called Thirteen Pence a Day, though I'm not familiar with it. Some comments when I get back to my notes next week. ;-) Ian |
