Jul 24, 2017

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

Level 69

Dec 10, 2017

Enry makes sense though, specially if you speak some kind Cockney dialect.

Level 71

Aug 24, 2020

Doesn't end with a D though, does it?

Level 76

Jul 25, 2017

No idea who Pippa and Kate are.

Level 63

Aug 28, 2017

Really?

Level 73

Oct 25, 2017

I wish I didn't.

Level 59

The Middleton sisters. Kate is now Duchess of Cambridge, married to Prince William.

Level 66

Nov 9, 2017

Had to work out sandwich lol, was genuinely spending time thinking of male names that start in s and end in h, then I genuinely read the question!

+14

Level 49

Dec 6, 2017

never heard of chunnel. I've been out of Blighty too long.

+11

Level 58

Dec 6, 2017

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.

+11

Level 66

Dec 6, 2017

I've stayed here all my life and have never once heard it referred to as that!

Level 82

Dec 6, 2017

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.

Level 54

Dec 7, 2017

Except it has.

Level 56

Dec 6, 2017

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

Level 69

Aug 22, 2020

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

Level 25

Dec 6, 2017

Brain freeze... how do I forget Robert Burns' first name when I'm given an R and a T?

Level 64

Dec 6, 2017

Could have been Rabbit.

Level 72

Apr 22, 2019

All I could think of was Montgomery. :/

Level 37

Jan 1, 2022

He's usually called Robbie or Rabbie, which threw me for a second

Level 69

Dec 6, 2017

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.

Level 64

Dec 6, 2017

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.

Level 68

Aug 31, 2018

Yeah, I think it may be an American thing, since we like to mangle real words as often as possible.

Level 45

Dec 7, 2017

Pity it's not The Channel Wall.

Level 55

Dec 7, 2017

Easy and fun. 2:20 left.

Level 32

Apr 5, 2018

Famous boys boarding school: why Eton not Harrow?

Level 83

Apr 13, 2018

Read the instructions. It's a word chain.

Level 56

Apr 19, 2018

Not to be picky, but I think rugby is named after the school, not the town.

Level 48

Oct 6, 2018

agreed,,, please adjust the question, QM

Level 41

Jan 4, 2019

I put Rabbie for Burns, realised the next answer began with a "T", and changed it to "Rabbit".

Level 61

Oct 25, 2019

13/23? Not too shabby for a colonist I suppose.

Level 80

Feb 4, 2020

OH NO! I read Pippa as 'PEPPA'! That's why I didn't get it.

Level 56

Jul 29, 2020

Sick of saying this , true Britons are Welsh of Wales , England and Scotland are afterthoughts . STIP CALLING THESE UK QUIZZES OK .WILLIAM WALLACE WAS WELSH TOO BY THE WAY , AS WAS ST PATRICK . just for future ref ,save looking more ignorant than normal

Level 89

Aug 22, 2020

Settle down, Beavis.

Level 37

Jan 1, 2022

You alright there bud? Briton is a name derived from Latin, so wasn't used by the "original" Britons anyway, it's a place more than an ethnicity. And Wallace was born in Scotland, was the son of a Scot and died for Scotland. Not sure how you guys can claim him.

Level 61

Aug 22, 2020

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.

Level 37

Jan 1, 2022

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.

Level 57

Aug 22, 2020

Please accept Catherine for "Pippas sister"

Level 62

Aug 22, 2020

But then the chain wouldn't work :/

Level 62

Aug 22, 2020

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.

Level 73

Aug 24, 2020

Milk snatcher should work for the vile woman.

Level 71

Aug 24, 2020

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...

Level 63

Aug 25, 2020

rabbie & robbie as typins for robert burns?

from a scot we call him rabbie burns here.

Level 37

Jan 1, 2022

I agree, but that wouldn't work with the link. I tried Robbie first too, but it technically shouldn't be an answer

Level 75

Aug 26, 2020

I did this quiz not even realising it was a chain😂

Level 49

Apr 28, 2022

Chunnel? What's that then?

Level 65

Oct 20, 2023

My thoughts exactly. What on Earth is a Chunnel?

Level 56

May 2, 2022

I thought it was called the channel tunnel??? Is Chunnel slang or something?

Level 80

Jan 19, 2023

it's apparently a 'nickname'

Level 70

Dec 29, 2023

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

Level 73

Feb 9, 2024

The answer to that question doesn't work. Celtics rivals are Sevco, or also know as FOBs.
