Possibly #1 Commonwealth and #2 Parliament Hill? (Very doubtful about that second one!)
Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.
All of my puzzles are simple and obvious. For certain values of "simple" and "obvious".

Yes to 1 and no to 2. :D Although the word "parliament" does appear in it.

Oh very good. I'll be surprised if that's wrong. :)

Yes re Books 7 :D
No re Royalty 5 - here's a hint:the Queen is very involved with this.

I thought no 5 was Tower of London?
No 2 looks like Parliament Hill but that doesn't have a royal connection. :?

Yes to Chazzie re the parliament one.

LAT - I think it's just got a bit confused with the numbers. I probably should have numbered them! Tower of London was correct for

:lol: Yes, pretty terrible. But, for once, I'm not actually responsible for it so that's probably a good thing. :lol:

Question:

Tonight I will be going to another quiz night. Are folk sufficiently interested for me to write down the questions and type them up on here again?* I don't want to do it if you're all thinking "Oh goodness, here she goes again!" :lol:

Also, do you prefer to have the answers given or would you rather have a go at answering them on here before I do that?

*If I do, it won't be until next week now as I have a busy weekend ahead though.
