January Quiz

[quinie]

no111 Is reportedly in charge (5) beginning withL.I don't watch TV so I just guessed who the person was (knowing it had to begin with Le).Any connection with Dawn French or am I on the wrong track?

Answers are British and Irish place names.

[ladyalex]

I do not think my answer has any connection to Dawn French....

[ladyalex]

Mine doesn't have anything to do with the TV either.....
It's in Yorkshire.

[argorstran]

Leeds - ?

[factor-fiction]

If I understand the clue, then another clue for the answer would be a place in Yorkshire

[ladyalex]

Well, we tried to give clues, factor30....

[quinie]

So I'm on the wrong track.I found a village in the Highland Region that fitted and just assumed it had to do with Lenny Henry!! On wrong track but maybe got the correct answer?

[factor-fiction]

Yes, I gathered you preferred us not to give the answer so I typed a pun about Elland Road and then decided it was too longwinded and changed it to simply 'place in Yorkshire'- meanwhile others had responded while I was dilly dallying

[argorstran]

My apologies - I didn't realise you were looking for another clue rather that the direct answer ...

[quinie]

If the answer is Leeds which I thought it was weeks ago then it should come before no110 alphabetically

[ladyalex]

No problem, argorstan...I try to give clues rather than answers to quizzes when I can...the quiz setters often complain that giving out the answers spoils the quiz.

[factor-fiction]

No problem argorstran. The OP didn't say she only wanted clues- I just read between the lines on ladyalex's response that a number of posters on here may be doing the quiz and may not want to give direct answers yet.

[factor-fiction]

Sorry for the delay ladyalex- I did make my last post a bit earlier but realised it had gone on the wrong thread

[quinie]

Hi,ladyalex, when this quiz first came out I asked if a mistake had been made in the order of 110 and111 and was assured no mistake. Lee comes before Lem ?

[quinie]

Thanks to all who helped me.I'll now put in the answer I first thought of.I feel a bit daft now when i think of the time I spent thinking of a place starting between Lem and Ley!

[wiggers99]

Quinie,
Have you corrected the spelling to your answer for 110? As the first word is 10 letters Lem cannot be correct unless you've spelt it in a very odd way. As it was an anagram it should have been pretty easy to solve.

[quinie]

Thank you very much for pointing out my mistake,wiggers99.I knew it was an anagram but just made a mistake writing it down.Could have saved myself a lot of time if I'd double-checked. Changed it now. I feel daft now twittering on about alphabetical order but nobody picked up on my mistake-missed out the a.Thanks again
