[patchett]

Thank you emeritus and Fibonacci.Have checked book and looked up Matt Baker but still no wiser.It says at start of quiz"For all but a couple of answers you don't need isle or island in your answer"I havn't used isle or island in any other answer so perhaps these are the two.Back to the lists.

Glad to help. You can look time and again and still miss the obvious. I know I do it especially when lists are so long.
