4. I expect the answer you are looking for is 600 .... from Tennyson's poem about Balaclava, 'The Charge of the Light Brigade' .....'into the valley of death rode the six hundred'. BUT about 156 men were killed immediately as a result of the Charge, & many more died later from their wounds.
12. "not a million miles away".
22. Hundred (as in "Chiltern Hundreds", I think)
Question Author
kettledrum and bert-h thank you
not sure about 12 answers are hundred or century
22. Yes, "hundred" - area covered by a magistrates court, I think
20. Hundred End
Question Author
Thank you frugalfred and kettledrum.
Just number 12.
Near enough not sure.
Well then, I'd guess the answer for 12 is "not a hundred miles from", although it's not what we usually hear people say.
