Thank you for taking any of my quizzes !
Very good T/F quiz, nice job.
BTW, couldn't there be a question about Wales & N.I. though? Not just wrong options?
- Largest lake by surface area in the UK (by a long way)
- Only UK country not to feature a cross on its flag...
Very good MC quizzes (not T/F as previously stated!) I think QM has condensed them generally well, but IMO it would've been even better if each UK country had been represented in all of them, just so each one would be a stand-alone UK quiz.
