Smouse, just seen your post of yesterday.
Would I doubt you smouse.......of course not. !!!!
I still have a few to do on this quiz, but one that really has bugged me is number 63, which I have noticed has been questioned by others, but not answered.
I don't want the answer yet, but tell me - do the chopped onions have any significance in the answer ?
Good luck with your other quizzes, seems to be a pause now till the closing dates for most of them.

yes an onion related word does and what does chopped usually mean
