Me also! I think this quiz scratched parts of my brain that haven't been used since about 1984.

The clue for 'Pop goes the weasel' indicates that you're only looking for one word, rather than three.

This!

I didn't even try "goes the weasle" because of it.

Same! I thought about it, but then saw that it was just one big word, so I skipped it.

Still has not been fixed..

I dont know the rhyme but heard of pop goes the weasel, so that is what immediately popped into my head. But then saw a single line, so that couldnt be the answer. I see no reason for it to be single line.

I've never come across pease porridge - though wiki shows it is an alternative. I often ate pease pudding when I was a child living with my parents, and very nice it was - no way would it have gone nine days without being fully consumed!

I've always known it as "pudding and pie". Probably because "Christmas pie" isn't really a thing here.

Surely not! Christmas pie where I grew up in Surrey. In fact, now I come to think of it, there's a place not far from where I grew up which is actually called Christmas Pie. Not that that has anything to do with Little Jack Horner, I suppose

Very hard if you are from another country ! I had only heard of 3! But somehow I managed to get 11, all by guessing, some were obvious (like door..), some i was amazed i guessed right ! (Like full of grace).

some complete guesses were nesr misses though ! Six pennies instead of 5 farthings. Little dogs tails instead of puppy dogs

You needed an equivalent assonance to Lemons/Clements, hence Farthings/Martins. You'll really struggle to find that if English is not your mother tongue.
