Once heard never forgotten! I remember the group The Dooley’s from the 70’s and add 70’s PM Harold Wilson, nice little memory trick! :wink:

I was finding thinking up quiz questions really hard, so I when I clocked I could use the antique Trivial Pursuit sets I thought I’d hit the jackpot. :slightly_smiling_face: If the charity shops ever reopen I’ll definitely be scouting them out for more things to use as questions. :+1:

Enjoyed that quiz thank you @VanillaWithSprinkles :relaxed:

Although I do have to be possibly controversial and argue that a penguin is a biscuit and not a chocolate bar :penguin:

:joy:

It’s probably 1 of those things where enough people know it either way that it’s considered either in quiz questions. Like how everyone would count jaffa cakes as a type of biscuit if they fit the answer, despite officially beibg cakes (i think. I may have explained that badly)

Omg ok agree to disagree here I think it’s definitely a chocolate bar (or chocolate biscuit bar)

If you remove the nougat from a Double Decker, does that make it a biscuit? :thinking::exploding_head:
