Oh thank you so much! ^-^ This particular performance I saw was Dutch, hence 'Quichot', but I'll just change it.

Love the fact that you've included Milngavie (pronounced "Mill-guy" for anyone who's confused) in here (even though I didn't even get it myself!).

This is one of those quizzes where you really kick yourself afterwards!

Great :-) Well actually it was the only word I could find with a silent v in it. Apparently a silent v is exceptionally rare!
