Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
The 'get out clause' for the producers might be that the local permanent way bods refer to the Forth Bridge as 'The Bridge', and so that is good enough for the story.

Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
Barrs might refer to it as the Irn-Bru Bridge "Made in Scotland from Girders!"

Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
AFAIK Michael Portillo was told that The Forth Bridge was the only un-numbered bridge on the whole UK rail network, and was recorded as The Bridge. That tells me that ths was not a local thing.

Never seen that before but did used to consume much black velvet - Guinness and Cider. Until I was 18 then it lost it's fascination.

Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
My mum used to love her black velvet but she insisted it was made with Mackeson and Bulmers Strongbow!!

I'm going to run after posting this video, my nomination for the worst video so far featured on the FCF, (unless of course you know different!)

Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
It amazing that it comes up near the top in a search on youtube for "Mackeson Advert". Excruciating presentation 
Just to get a bit of quizzing into an excuse to put up an amusing series of Beer Adverts....

Who plays Arkwrights wife in this series of clips (she is not in every one) .![]()
The clips start off slow starts off slow but by the time they gets to "Arkwrights new dog" definitely chuckle material for me.and a supplementary where is this bridge(it appears many times in the clips, and if you locate that you could maybe find the "Three Ferrets" too?)
