Angela

[Geoff]

Well done, Angela but you're only half-way there.

 

You can celebrate with Hollywood, but I'm afraid Robin Gibb isn't the one I'm looking for. Good effort though. But why is he just one of four? I thought there were three in his group.

[Dianni]

You may be getting closer, but I think RIngo had a Liverpool accent.

Well, I'll have a go at 8

 

The French word for "eat" is manger which has a christmas connection.

 

There is a "Manger Building" in the USA (OK, I googled that as I couldn't get the building connection)

You're on the right track Debz, but I'm not sure what Christmas connection there is with niagra

[debzsanderson]

2. Angel falls!

 

Angela

[debzsanderson]

well done Angela-never been much good at puzzles!!

[Geoff]

2 snow falls ?? xx

 

 

I'm afraid not - clearly you have too much snow in West Sussex and you are trying to share it out.

 

The answer is a specific geographical location

 

- Geoff

[Geoff]

I should check my emails more often - well done Angela and to everyone else who shared the experience. Hope you all enjoyed it.

 

Perhaps we'll do it again next week

[Panda]

Thanks Geoff, that was a good quiz that kept us guessing for quite a while.

 

How about one for new year?
