TV Cryptics and TV Story (in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support)
My most sincerer apologies for the very late response to the above quiz due to illness and family problems.
There were 10 All Correct answers and the winner drawn out of a hat was Mrs E Morgan of Cheshire. Well Done! The quiz raised £113 for Macmillan Cancer Support and Email answers have been sent but I cannot reply to the ones who sent stamped addressed envelopes as unfortunately they have been destroyed IN ERROR with Christmas Cards, envelopes and wrapping paper etc.,
I am taking a break from setting quizzes for now until I have more time to do it properly
Sincere apologies once again and many thanks for your wonderful support.
A Happy New Year to you all.
