Delete6 out of ten.
ReplyDeleteNot bad for a fellow who drinks Newcastle Brown!

Delete5/10. I am not good with flags as I am not particularly interested in them.
ReplyDeleteTime to get interested then laddie!
DeleteCan't do flags, don't believe in nationalism. St.George's flag flying from some window always makes me cross.
ReplyDelete...makes me CROSS. Was the pun intended Thelma?
DeleteGot most except 4,7, and 8
ReplyDeleteYou could seek out an evening class in vexillology.
Delete9 out of 10. (my atlas helped with its pages of flags) I didn't know Norway planted that first flag.
ReplyDeleteAtlas? Did you read the rules?
DeleteRules??
Delete5/10. In general I'm no good with flags (nor maps, nor cars). But I knew Canada, the Red Cross, St George, the stars on the US flag + had a "hunch" that Norway was first at the South Pole (although I didn't recall details). I also recognised the word "flagon" as some kind of container for liquid when I read it - but it didn't spring to mind for me from the picture (or even the clue). (And had I'd been asked to draw a picture of a flagon, I'd probably have failed!)
ReplyDeleteYou need to have more confidence in your quizzing ability Monica!
Delete8 for me, I didn't know nos 3 or 8.
ReplyDeleteAn honest attempt - as usual Carol!
DeleteEight for me. I missed numbers 2 and 3. Being a lover of history is why I knew 7 and I guessed correctly on 8 based upon your history.
ReplyDeleteI guess eight isn't too bad.
Delete70% this week, passable, barely, time for a flagon of cider.
ReplyDeleteMore revision required young man!
DeleteNine out of ten. I missed no. 7.
ReplyDeleteRoald Amundsen led the successful Norwegian expedition in 1911.
Delete6 right for me which is better than I have been doing!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work young lady!
Delete8 out of 10 - missed Cyprus and Chile!
ReplyDeleteA fine effort young lady.
