Well done and thank you.

BTW is Shell not getting any points for her answers to 5 and 24? bottom of page 3

[Kaz]

Oh yes, sorry Shell

Well I have true for the Ice Skating, although I get your point about this year's weather! I checked the website and it's still on - Sorry

Camel is correct

[Workingman]

Go on, give her the point - she was half right.

Oh yes, sorry Shell

Well I have true for the Ice Skating, although I get your point about this year's weather! I checked the website and it's still on - Sorry

Camel is correct

I wasn't thinking of the weather Kaz, I was thinking of the terrorist attacks

[Kaz]

Oh right, well anyway the skating is still on according to this list A few outdoor rinks here in England have closed due to melting ice, so I assumed you meant that, sorry! Obviously they are carrying on as normal despite the terror threat, just like London did, and fair play to them!
