Hi jessie, thanks for the excellent quiz. I’m going to print it off and use it on New Year’s Eve (which we will be spending with four friends). It’ll see us through to ‘the bells’. Dave might be wearing his kilt, we’ll see xxx
That’s wonderful! I’d like to see the photos of your Hogmanay celebrations and if someone is doing the quiz – all the better.
Happy Holidays! Fun quiz! I did pretty well and I learned some things, too. Never heard of “Twixmas”. I thought more people would watch the Queen! Thanks, Jessie and relax and have fun this week!
Glad you enjoyed the challenge. How many did you score? The figures probably represent the audience for the live broadcast. People also watch on catch up and Youtube.
