Here's a useful little quiz to test your knowledge of british monarchs and politicians.

History, our own and that of 'the mainland', is like a millstone around our necks. :-)

[glasman]

Lol - too true, Sandy.

[Maydup]

Respect glasman!

I enjoyed that, I scored 25 and the ones I got wrong were on politicians.
Thanks for the link

Lady Jane Grey was just as much a monarch as Robert Walpole was Prime Minister :-)

27/29. Wrong on the last one, and on Thatcher being the longest PM. Thought that one of the others might have had more years in office, spread over a few terms. Apparently not.

Q24: Wow, oversimplification much? Let's just casually overlook the contributions of everyone else at Bletchley park, and the code-breaking efforts of the Polish mathematicians before it even was established...

28, Tripped up on the New Model Army.

15..... The older history ones are fine, it's the more recent ones I get wrong.

[jno]

boxtops, yes, Thatcher isn't history, she's current events. Isn't she?

Got 23 out of 29. Was interesting to see the ones I got wrong, as I thought I knew them.
