Got them all bar the "name of eight kings" and I couldn't work out why Henry wasn't accepted. Then the penny dropped, word chain quiz, genius me! Lol

It was certainly used a lot around the time it was being built and was first in operation, but to be honest, I can't remember the last time I heard or read the word (other than on Jetpunk) - it think it's fallen out of usage somewhat.

As far as I remember, it was a tem used in the newspapers around the time the tunnel was built. I don't believe it ever made it into the vernacular.

Kate is now Katharine, so that should be accepted as an answer. In fact, it should be the answer!

100% it should be only Catherine. And it since it doesn't start with a K, it needs to be re~/moved.

I live on The South Coast and I've near heard of this 'Chunnel' portmanteau. As far as I was concerned, it was just simply The Channel Tunnel.

I don't do as well on these quizzes as most, but I've heard "Chunnel" many times here on the free side of the Atlantic.

There were more than 8 King Edwards. The regnal numbers only go back as far as the Norman conquest. Edward the Confessor was the one they were all named after, and he reigned 1042-1066, and was certainly King of all England! Some would count Alf the Great's son Edward the Elder (899-924) and Edward the Martyr (975-978). So we could be talking 11. Certainly no less than 9.

There were also "Edwards" of Ireland and Portugal though that's obviously being a little pedantic given that it's a quiz about the UK.

Welp, I don't know if it's just my ignorance of sports trivia, but it seemed that most answers here were obvious/common knowledge except for the rival team question. That seems a particularly obscure detail to know, by comparison.

I understand why you would usually accept Saxon without the s in the end, but it kind of defeats the purpose of this quiz, doesn't it? Saxons needs its second s to keep the chain going...

Rangers and Celtic should just flip a coin at the beginning of the season to decide who wins the title that year.

Titanic wasn't actually built in the UK though. At the time, Belfast was part of Ireland, not GB.
