could you tell us which quiz this is, its looks a good one

[Fibonacci]

Shrewsbury
Shrew - scolding woman
Bury sounds like Beret.

Deal for your other question sounds correct

[Valanne]

I think exchange...for money is Sale (in Cheshire)

[ljdksa]

Eliza Dolittle backed "Dover"

[Valanne]

Eliza Doolittle bet on a horse called Dover

[Princessdollie]

Well thank you Neep - I would never have got that one in a million years!!

[Princessdollie]

Chorley - it is a very good quiz - given me sleepless nights for about a week now. I'm new to this site - is there a way I can post it? Or email it to you?

[Princessdollie]

Fibonacci - thank you for the explanation. It makes sense now.

[Princessdollie]

Do you think 'A very singular river' could be Avon, or is that a bit obscure?

[Princessdollie]

Oops, just noticed the answer should have 5 letters, not 4, so perhaps it's not Avon after all ;-)

[Valanne]

What do you think about 'exchange on a commodity' being Sale, and 'start the game' being Deal? Just wasn't sure you had seen my suggestion.

[chorley9]

you could post it on here please with the address, cost and closing date.

[DSJ]

Yes, please post details on how to apply for this quiz. It sounds interesting. Thanks.

[Princessdollie]

Valanne - thank you very much. I agree with your suggestions and have changed my answers.

[Valanne]

You're very welcome. Wish I could do a few more. I'll keep trying.

[Princessdollie]

Chorley & DSJ - I was given this quiz by a friend, and have it saved as a Word doc on my pc. Not sure how to upload it to this site for others to share ;-(

[DSJ]

Oh pity, never mind. Thanks anyway.

[Mamyalynne]

Princess, do you not have an address where we can send for it? The cost and closing date also, you must have a return address to post it to.

Mamya

[Princessdollie]

No Mamya, it was given to me just for fun. No competition/closing date etc.

[Mamyalynne]

As you can tell we are all quizaholics LOL Thank you for replying, enjoy.
