Even though I got that one wrong I did understand once I re-read the question. However, the one I do take issue with (even though I got it right) is the "that / which" question. I thought you could only use which after a comma and if there is no comma then you can use either.

Talking of quizzes, my team (Bob's Full Hearse) won the local pub quiz last night (by one point), helped by my impressive knowledge of Manchester United's opponents in Sir Alex Ferguson's first game in charge.

not Fletcher, but there is another player with 15, and strangely another British player with 12, according to the BBC Premier League top scorer chart. So perhaps it should have been top 6?joepoolman wrote:Bale 21, Walcott 14, Lambert 15, Fletcher, Rooney 12?slappy wrote:Rather trickier was to name the top five British scorers in the Premier League last season.

Re: A quiz made for this forum
To be honest I couldn't help but look up the top scorers as soon as I'd made my guess, and I agree about a top 6, easy mistake to make though.slappy wrote:not Fletcher, but there is another player with 15, and strangely another British player with 12, according to the BBC Premier League top scorer chart.

Re: A quiz made for this forum
Without looking it up, I'll take a guess at Lampard (and I suppose therefore Gerrard), plus maybe one of Maloney, Agbonlahour or Carroll. Is Le Fondre british?
