I hope I haven't made this too challenging!! I fear you have. I'm no expert on the Pointless TV show but on some of the questions people are going to struggle not to incur high points while others are going to take huge effort or risk a "wrong answer". Still we've just got to get on with what you've put forward.

Still we've just got to get on with what you've put forward. Q3 was the only one I was doubtful of when compiling my list. I could think of at least eight examples when I came up with it, so I went ahead. I knew it would be tricky, but not impossible, and I thought it'd be something different to previous quizzes as well! Still got 20+ days to find something ...

Joint 2nd place not bad. It was a good quiz. Certainly one of the more harder quizzes so far, especially Q3. I only fortunately stumbled upon the answer by chance as I was using LVF for something else. I canât imagine how long it would have taken me otherwise! What else made it harder was the smaller pool of answers for some of the questions and deciding which one to use

@tp446 - Regarding Mine and Snoggle's answer on Question 2, There is a typo as the stops meant to be Beehive Lane not Ladysmith Road.
Anyway for me coming 5th isn't too bad considering its one of the challenging quizzes that I've done so far.

Duly amended, thanks for spotting!

Thanks so much for the quiz! 8th isn't bad at all considering I really didn't have time to think about it properly - got so lucky with Q3 given that I didn't have to go around searching for an answer as I knew the N83 off the top of my head as a local that I used regularly in the form of the old daytime service.
