5 fruit and 5 vegetables in the picture round.
I think we missed 2, 4, 6 and 10. Can't remember the actual answers.
6 right in the current affairs round as well. Poor notes mean that I can only really report that Glasgow has had a spike in new HIV cases. Costa Rica and Hong Kong featured but not sure why.
A difficult start then turned harder with a round on tea. We got the first 4 right including identifying this as a Samovar...
Robson guessed Turkey as the country drinking the most tea
per capita ahead of Ireland but was largely ignored. Mrs Doyle will be distraught. I don't think any teams guessed that the disgusting sounding concoction of black tea, honey, condensed milk and tapioca is Bubble Milk.
We made a better fist of the this week that year round missing only one, and got all 3 ten pointers after a long process of elimination to get that 10 March is Pisces. Lowish first half score of 80 but probably not as bad as it sounds.
We made the full chain after backsolving to get a description of porridge and that a US dentist invented the first electric chair in the 19th century.
Strong Jeopardy round with 8 near certain. Our best guess for the location of Whipsnade Zoo was Bucks, it is Beds but we didn't stick our necks out as we were clueless re a question concerning Ruta Bega and I can't remember or find via google what it was now.
19 of 20 in music round, one song title missed.
Not sure if any other teams blew out but a comfortable 11 point margin meant that we had gone one better after 3 second places lately. A total of 34 contestants meant that we had won £51, possibly a new PB?
Maundy Thursday is now only a few weeks away and a return to Borough Market has been mooted. All thoughts and opinions are welcomed.
