No 9 is wrong as the tube station at the O2 wasn't open in 1863 so Great Portland Street would be better.GuyBarry wrote:I'm not quite sure how these quizzes work, so here are my answers:

Re: Rare Entries Quiz VIII: London
Well if you can't think up questions to fit my answers, I suppose I'd better have another go. I've read the rules now - it's sort of like "Pointless" but without the 100 people polled, right?The Raven wrote: Guy Barry would you like me to use your posted answers or would you like another go?
[This may have given me an idea for a new type of quiz though. Watch this space.]
