12 Answers
hi, now that this quiz is closed, may i ask what entrants put for the answer to one of them which was either 'lights on the tree' or 'lights on the christmas tree'
i was unsure with nordmann fir as this is basically a tree that is popular at christmas. it is also i believe used in ornamental parks all the year round. i never know what to put with this type of question as both answers would appear correct but only one ii likely to be approved, you could , then say that because noel was never mentioned in the clue then 'lights on the tree' is correct or you could say that 'normann fir' is a [christmas] tree, and 'light on the christmas tree' is correct. how do answer this type of question please.

for it to be 'once in royal david's city' then there would have had to be two 'ones' missing in heibron when it was clearly the letter 'L'that was missing .that was a question with only one valid answer, but another one that confused me was TINSEL written over WALNUT. this is again ambiguous as it could be 'tree decoration' i.e. tree decorate-on or 'decorate the tree' or simply if you say what you see, 'decoration on the tree' . so there we have 3 answers, all correct in their own way but which one is it? indeed it could be something else altogether, no,give me the set question and set answer format every time, you know where you are then, enjoyable in its own way and for an excellent cause though
I'm afraid I went far more straightforward with that one and said exactly what I saw - 'Tinsel on the tree'.
I agree a very enjoyable quiz, though like you not my favourite type.
I doubt there will be 'erasures' the chat has been polite and on topic, though I suppose one could suggest Chatterbank as a good place to chat - can't see it matters in this case.
