yapisle...Crofter has very kindly compiled this quiz for me, as I just would not be a match to his skills!
Crofter knew I did a lot of charity fundraising.
He very kindly donated his time and expertise to offer his services to compile these quizes for me as a fundraising activity.
The very least I can do and like to do, is organise the running of it.
Hope that explains it!!!
