BBC weekly quiz # 2
Ok you didn't go too well on the last quiz all except Cafecruzin who ace'd it. TBA had a 100 lines and put in detention, unfortunately no questions about golf.
Let's see if you had your eyes open this last week.

Well there was no question about crocodiles in golf water hazards TBA, so you didn't improve on last week, unfortunately nor did I, despite reading and knowing the answers to 3 questions I still only got 5 correct.

Ride on !
