21 Comments

1. 15/20 for me this week. Not bad for an American, but I still feel like I should have done better.

   • You’re still coming second at this point.

2. 12/20. Your weather looks scary and I hope will improve soon!

   • It’s fine now – just had one bad day. Weird though, in the middle of summer.

     • Glad to hear that. It did look concerning, especially that car in the flooded street!

3. 17/20. It’s been a while since I covered 1971 on my blog, but it definitely helped with some of the answers! Hope you’re not too wet!

   • It’s dried out again now – good work, you’re still winning at this point.

4. 13/20. Stay safe Graham.Hope the weather improves shortly.

   • Good score! It’s a lovely day here again today, just an unexpected summer storm.

5. 11/20 for me. Oh well, I don’ t know my 1971 British History very well.

   • Good job though – sounds like a passing grade.

6. 16/20 for me. I had no idea about several but still managed to make a few lucky guesses.

   • Great score – looks like you’re currently on the podium.

7. 10/20. Dang, you have a lot of standing water!

   • It’s not as bad as it looks – there’s just a low-lying area on our street. We live far enough uphill that it will just run downhill rather than flood our house if it’s really bad.

     • Good.

8. Score

   04:31 ….I knew my useless trivia of UK televison would come in handy one day. The mandolin player on Stewarts Maggie Mae tripped me up but I guess and got it right…I knew that it was Ray Jackson (from Lindisfarne) on the original but he wasn’t a choice…. and guess at the one on Top of the Pops.

   • That’s impressive – looks like you’re going to win this week.

     • It hit one of my strong spots…
