Original (11 secs) 80's (12 secs)
Match analysis
Same story, All even with the regulars, then from 90 heardle pulls away.
Falcon did enjoy the 80's track, and the 90's was quite topical seeing as ABBA songs were on autoplay this morning! (no spoiler it wasnt ABBA!)

Pickled Egg Traditional Quiz Questions of the day
Banknote trivia five of the best (research welcomed probably not a top of the head thing.)
Can't remember the last time I had banknotes in my possession although saying that I briefly had a £5 note in my hand on Saturday obtained from a nearby purse to pay for the catalogue that allowed entry to the Auction.

1. Who is the current Chief Cashier , her signature appears on all currently issued banknotes. The chief Cashier changes from time to time, last change was on 1st June 2018 so the banknotes in your pocket may have a previous name on them.

3. What are the 4 denominations of the Current Bank Notes in Circulation, and a.b.c. and d Who are the featured persons on the rear.

Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
And an additional one from me 'cos I happened to look it up a few weeks ago
Question 6. What is the ship on the reverse of the £20 note, and why could the original painting best be described as an 'Artists Impression' ?

Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
Correct on the ship, but there's a bit more to the answer than that, Mick. There are various inaccuracies in his original painting - any one of them will do for an answer, though Neil has got it

Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
I know Bobins has from his answers, but for question 7
Regards Neil7. Does anyone have a banknote to to even look at these features on the current notes. If anyone has an Ultra Violet light some other features are revealed, as does a bit of tactile feeling of the raised relief bits.

Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
And, for a bit of light relief, the reverse of the £20 is used as proof by conspiracy theorists who say that COVID19 is being spread by the 5G mobile phone networks. The hologram is a radio mast, while the strange symbol above it is (according to them) a representation of the COVID particle!

Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
Just had a look using an UV LED and can't see anything.
Will cobble an array of them in the morning sometime and see if that is any better.
Only looked at a tenner.
