I think that’s probably about long enough… I have added the answers to the quiz post :+1::slightly_smiling_face:

And the winner of this week’s Great Hump Day Quiz is… :drum::drum::drum:

Well done @MsSubExperimenter - excellent quizzing with some tough questions :clap::clap::clap:

Thank you @Ian_Chimp , I love the Hump Day Quizzing. However…

I think, having googled it that @SexInTheCity deserves a :green_heart: clean sweep. Apparently, a group of Bears is either a sleuth OR a sloth so fully correct answer.

(Also annoyed with myself for not getting Merry Christmas which is a fact I have heard before and for confusing Ambridge with Ambrosden, a village I occasionally drive through :joy:)
