    Wow they are difficult. If you had given them to members of my old very sociable gardening club they would have groaned and reached for more mulled wine! Probably it is HPS standard I think they enjoy a Christmas Quiz.

    I was asked to do the quiz as a diversion in Lockdown and post it on the village WhatsApp page. The other themes were Retro Adverts, Food, Rutland, Words, The Arts, Literature, Miscellaneous, History, Science and Sayings. If anyone is interested in any of these topics I’ll upload them, and also provide answers to the plants Qs above.

    Whilst in the throes of my paper-shredding frenzy, I came across an innocent-looking sheet of A4. It contained about twenty anagrams ranging from mildly risqué to utterly obscene. I won't be sharing them, I'm afraid😳
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    What does a guilty-looking sheet of A4 look like? - so I can make sure I steer clear of them.....

    Hi @AnniD. There are only 5 questions in each category so it might not take long.

         *****SPOILER ALERT*****
    This might promote ear worm jingles

    You’ll wonder where the yellow went

    1. Who was strong and tough when only the best is good enough? 

    2. What cleaned a big, big carpet for less than half a crown? 

    3. Beer at home. What does that mean? 

    4. Where was Horace Bachelor based? 

    5. Who did you see for an ​afford​able carpet?

    I only remember one of those jingles!

    I know the first 3 for definite @JennyJ, plus the one in bold.
    No idea about number 4 and could hazard a guess at number 5  :)

    The one in bold was just the title of the round. For Q4 you had to be a Radio Luxembourg listener and for Q5 the answer rhymed with afford - @AnniD
