17 Jul 02 - 07:43 AM (#749578) Subject: RE: Pub Quiz From: greg stephens Ian, I warned you not to waste time posting interim answers, it enabled Watson to beat you.Iwon't post the answer yet, in case you or anyone is persevering. I must apologise, there's a wrong question in there.Comes from relying on fallible memory and typing in a hurry.19 shouldnt be Islington girl's dad's job,which is of course Bailiff as you have corrrectly answered. The question should have been more like "Westminster girl's dad's job (well, not quite Westminster,more like Lambeth)" |

17 Jul 02 - 08:03 PM (#750014) Subject: RE: Pub Quiz From: Snuffy Yes Noreen, but not since the 70s. You must get up early - you've usually posted all the answers before I even see Greg's quizzes! Hope to see you somewhere soon, but it won't be Saddleworth or Warwick or Squilver, I'm afraid. WassaiL! V |
