Mothers' Day Quiz

[MichaelJH]

I mentioned earlier that I would post a Mothers' Day Quiz. Well I finally finished typing it correcting some poor punctuation and clarifying one question. Please nobody say it was copied as I sat it with others where I live on Friday morning and I have no idea of the source. I did quite badly for myself as I did not win! Strangely I f got two nobody else knew but had no idea who Anita was (spoiler - it is not Avon!). Enjoy!

I cannot comment at this early stage!

[BeKind28- in reply to Mike4550]

Think I might know the answer I have

Want to take my answers of now

I usually do not do these even though I enjoy reading them when they come on but as it is Mothering Sunday and Michael has gone to all this trouble I thought I would risk it x

[Mike4550 in reply to BeKind28-]

Sorry I should not have butted in but my wife brought a set of similar questions home from the care home where she works. There is a hamper up for grabs as it is a competition for the horde of visitors today. If there's a draw the winners will go in a hat. At £1 a go they hope to raise about £200 for activities.

I am just browsing the forum as at just overa year from retirement I hav developed angina after years of weight and cholesterol problems.

[BeKind28- in reply to Mike4550]

Hello

You are fine butting in and I am sorry I never realised you had just joined and nice to meet you

Sorry to hear you have developed angina with the right medications it can be well controlled and obviously making the changes with diet and exercise to
