Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
Excellent work Neil which earns you full marks in my book as I am not married to David Mitchell, but you got two wrong compared to the answers on the card !!!

Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
Yes thanks for the generosity, I can see now that c and l didnt quite match the card. Its probably not giving too much away to others who may wish to play along, but with one of your favourite sports, and the recent flag jigsaw my first guess at "k" was AH, which was subsequently corrected by an ask the audience lifeline!mickthemaverick wrote: ↑03 Feb 2021, 22:51 Zoom in on the picture by clicking on it and all will be revealed!!

Indeed I doubt that will help anyone!! However the correct picture would have qualified for the quiz, well spotted.

Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
I imagine thats top of the head knowledge Mick, but there is a good 4minute clip of the plane the "sat nav" and the Switzerland Mustang/Aston Car pursuit! Supplementary from it...When was the car tax up on the Aston

Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
I've got a copy of that book... Given to me as a Christmas present a few years back...
It sadly illustrates my mental/cognitive dysfunctions very starkly I don't think I ever solved one...
It's just an ornament these days but deeply cherished because of who gave it to me, most sincerely thinking that it would help me
It didn't and made me despondent I was unable to make anything of it... A few years earlier I'd have had a great time with it...
I remain rubbish at quizzes of any sort
I'd hate to do an IQ test... I'd be lucky to reach double figures
Can't even do a simple crossword these days, let alone a cryptic one

Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
For those of you familiar with Road Tax/Vehicle Excise Duty history as it applied in February 1965 state your case with evidence (for the award of no points), for a date other than the end of February 1965.
Meanwhile let's assume the answer is the end of February 1965 for the obvious date, as plastered on the tax disc on the Aston's windscreen
