We've been doing a weekly family quiz via Zoom every week since the start of lockdown
I was tasked this week with setting the questions, so if anyone fancies a go it should take about 20 minutes
As it's a family quiz it's not difficult at all. See how you get on without Googling any answers
Grab a piece of paper and a pen and post your score
I'll post the answers in my next post on this thread
1 - What did the Romans do for us
2 - God Save the Queen
3 -The beach
4 - Who's taller
5 - Pitchin
6 - Know it all!!
Five points per category
Score is out of 30
First Category.
Everyone should know that a town or city name which contains "Chester" was a Roman settlement
Here are the names of five "Chesters" with a clue to their location
Which English county are they in?
Colchester – South east
Chester Le Street – North East
Dorchester – South, south west
Winchester - South
Ribchester – North West
Category two is Queen lyrics
Five songs. I'll give the title of a Queen song, post a line from a song and give a multiple choice answer
Which of the multiple choice answers is the following line?
We are the Champions
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face
And I ain't gonna lose
But I've come through
But committed no crime
Bohemian Rhapsody
Body's aching all the time
As if nothing really matters
Goodbye everybody, I've got to go
Sends shivers down my spine
I want to break free
I've fallen in love
And this time I know it's for real
I've fallen in love, yeah
I've fallen in love for the first time
Another one bites the dust
Steve walks warily down the street
Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet
With the brim pulled way down low
Machine guns ready to go
Somebody to love
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Ooh each morning I get up I die a little
I work hard (he works hard) every day of my life
I take home my hard earned pay all on my own
