Hi All,

Are you allowed more than one guess in 24 hours think I have 7

Basset

It's a very silly game ... yeah ... why not.   Just don't follow up yourself.  So if you get 7, leave 8 to someone else!

I had a different answer ... question was "Child's shoe for playing in a muddy place" ... but then I hadn't thought of Wellington

Yes, No. 10 is much discussed around here  Grin

Kidwelly would be the answer you had in mind for 7 then I presume.

Indeed, and reading that one had been solved, that's a close to this silly quiz!

Fair enough - I was going to go for 7 Wellington, 9 March and 10 Reading, too - but others got there first!  Grin

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post - a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London, depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.
