I've just put another quiz over on A-UK.

Merlin has kindly offered a £100 prize to the first person who sends in all the correct answers.
Alright, he hasn't really put up a prize, [it's just a bit of fun] but imagine the shock he got when he first read this post. :-)

A-UK quiz

I will add a link with the answers in a few days.
