thanks for your help, but still struggling - I believe that question 2 is (d), and Slaney has kindly answered Q.18. However, I am really having a hard time with Q4 - or have the people at DT got it wrong and do they mean Britain's least romantic places? If the latter then I believe it's Scunthorpe, but if the question is correct, then I still can't work it out. Would appreciate some help, please. Many thanks. Chox.
