Slaney - I'm sure you're right about Kublai Khan .... from Coleridge's poem:
"In Xanadu did Kubla(i) Khan a stately pleasure dome decree...."

[kettledrum]

Sorry Slaney! Also meant to say that I'm sure Viva voce is right. 'allowed' sounds like (we hear) aloud.

[slaney]

Thanks , kettledrum ..I was not sure about the spelling which in the poem is usually given as Kubla, as you indicate.

Hello dumanddummer,

I couldn't help notice the title of this quiz you are doing.

My son's school in Oldham has just issued their Xmas quiz with the title 'Seeing Double' - each answer is a repetition eg Yogi's Pal = Boo Boo.

Obviously yours is that all answers are double letters.

Where has it come from???
I would be interested to know.

Many Thanks
