Definitely an inspired guess here but I think No 7 may be Caergwrle......? If not, can you confirm that the number of letters in the answer is correct......? Edit - Just seen Clive's entry posted while I was head scratching - It's obvious now somebody has got it.....!! Last edited: 27/12/2024 at 10:09 by Red For Danger Reason: None given Log in to reply |

Red For Danger in post 159734 said:It's obvious now somebody has got it.....!!Thanks for that. One of the moments which gives the most satisfaction when you are running a pub quiz is when everyone is looking baffled when you ask a question. Then when the answer is given they all start calling you names and cursing themselves for not seeing the blindingly obvious. “In life, there is always someone out there, who won’t like you, for whatever reason, don’t let the insecurities in their lives affect yours.” – Rashida Rowe Log in to reply |
