'Middling' for me with the adult quiz this week: FOUR out of seven

Slightly better (in terms of percentage) for me in the junior one though: FOUR out of five:

So which playmates are joining me this week?

[Milo2]

5 and 3 this week.

[Buenchico]

5's a decent score, Roopower and Milo2. Well done!

Banksy or not, Roo, I really wouldn't recommend visiting Lowestoft these days. Most town centres have taken a bit of a hit due to Covid but Lowestoft town centre has almost shut up shop altogether. Even Poundstretcher, and nearly all of the charity shops that used to be there, have given up on it. The town centre is a total dump and even the beach is nowhere as nice as it used to be. (They had to replace nearly all of the sand after it was swept away in storms a few years ago. The granite breakwaters they've put in, to stop the sand disappearing again, make the beach look like a building site).

[brainiac]

Another middling week for me, too: 4

[JJ109]

Snap! - 4 & 4

[Buenchico]

Welcome to the club, Brainiac!

Welcome to the club, twice over, JJ109!

[campbellking]

5/7 and 2/5. Robbie just about forgiving human’s short trip to Belfast.

[Buenchico]

Well done with that decent 5, Campbellking. I hope you're giving Robbie loads of treats to apologise to him for your absence ;-)

[Caran]

3/7 and 3/5.

[Ken4155]

5/7 and 2/5
Don't know whether to laugh, cry or get a round in :-J

[Patsy33]

2/7
3/5

[Buenchico]

Well done with that 5, Ken, - and it's definitely your round ;-)

Consistent, and not too bad, Caran. A bit of an improvement on recent weeks, if my memory serves me correctly ;-)

I see that you're better at being a kid than an adult this week, Patsy ;-)

[JimF]

6/7 - didn't know the Banksy one.
2/5

[lady-janine]

Full number this week. Just a bit of luck as a couple were fortunate guesses.

Thanks Chris.

[twix123]

Thanks Chris.

5/7

4/5

With some good guessing - who knows how much an elephant weighs, I've only got a set of bathroom scales ?!

[Buenchico]

Brilliant, Lady-J! Well done!

Very well done with that near-perfect 6, Lie-in King!

Well done with those good scores, Twix! My bathroom scales think that I'm an elephant anyway ;-)

[10ClarionSt]

Not much cop this week, Chris. 3/7 and 2/5. My excuse is that I am setting off at 4 a.m. on my jollies to Woolacombe, and things are a bit hectic!

[roopower]

Buenchico, I'm sorry to hear that Lowestoft is in such a state, I haven't been into town or to the south beach for a few years. I walked along the 'prom' from Sparrows Nest to Ness Point a while back and that was quite pleasant, apart from the lazy wind! I have family in Oulton Broad and North Lowestoft so try to visit when I can, been a bit difficult in the last 18 months though.

[MargoTester]

Good morning all, 4 and 3 this week

[Karamia]

6 with a couple of lucky guesses, then a 3 for me.

[Buenchico]

Catching up with the latecomers:

Excuses, excuses, 10CS! (Enjoy Woolacombe, anyway!).

'Middling' in both quizzes, Margo, which ain't too bad!

Well done with that fine 6, Karamia!

Roopower: There's been a lot of effort put into improving Lowestoft's historic High Street which, as you'll know, isn't the main shopping street but the road that runs north from it. However London Road North (where all of the main shops used to be) is now largely a ghost town.
