History (sort of!) Quiz
OK, for anyone who did the place names quiz, here's another slightly different one. I wrote this one in 2016 to mark the queen's 90th birthday.
All the clues relate to events in her lifetime - example
1954 - RBRFSFMM would be Roger Bannister runs first sub four minutes mile.
So how many can you do - remember on quiz nights mobile phones and Google consultations are not allowed!
Good luck - I'll leave them on till the weekend again for anyone wanting a go.

Possibly 🤣. I'm struggling on got a very few not including the giveaway! Who's a silly boy then? 😉😉
Are the answers coming Sunday? I want to know how much time to dedicate to contemplating answers - I dont want to get any downside up this time 🤣🤣. Plus ordinary stuff has to be fitted in, so glad it's not in actual real quiz time - I wouldn't have got the giveaway 😱

OK - the answers are coming up in the next post. I've checked back on my scorecards for the quizzes I used this in and the average score (remember for teams of 4 or 6) was 15, so I reckon if you got 5 or more you can give yourself a pat on the back.
I've found another "place names" quiz so look out for it when we get another cold, rainy day (such as tomorrow by all accounts!
