Who burnt the tarts

[smouse]

Well I know it doesnt have to be in till tomorrow but I asked him today and his answer is so wrong. Dont worry my sheet has been in for over a week and I got it wrong anyway. He has promised to check and tomorrow I will tell you what he thought it was. Off to bombard his email with the poem!

King Alfred burnt the cakes, in legend.

The Knave of Hearts stole the tarts, in the nursery rhyme

But as to who burnt them, pass.

In my defence I only sold it and didnt set it - lol

Can't wait to find out the real answer. Is it too early to tell us what he thought it was. I'm sure last post has gone by now !!! xx

Well dont shoot the messenger
I walked in and said who burnt the tarts then....
The queen of hearts he said
No way said I. Well I think she did he said
I told him I would have to face all the ABs who bought it so he is going to investigate his answer. I hope that means he will nil and void that one

Hi smouse
The Queen only made the tarts didn't she. Oh Boy, I wouldn't want to be in his shoes !!!
Let's hope that with all the answers he gets he will have the sense to double check.
I have just started marking my Art Quiz as they are coming in and I want to get the prize out as quick as poss and as usual there are some unexpected answers which I will check. When everyone relied on only books you very rarely got this situation but now the internet is here it does throw up some weird and wonderful answers.
Will be eagerly be watching the letterbox from now on lol xx

I told him that (but didnt want to beat him at his retirement do) And as I said I have copied the whole poem and its origin to him in an email so watch this space.
He doesnt mark quickly.
I put Alfred!
