Is it Naomi Campbell? 

[maggiebee]

I just knew you would comment on this TTT. Choked on my tea with his answer.

[Tilly2]

Peacocks have got long necks!

[Tilly2]

...and ostriches.

[maggiebee]

But they're not mammals Tilly

[ToraToraTora]

18:10/11 yeah but how long have they been mammals?

[Tilly2]

Oh well.

[sandyRoe]

Naomi Campbell?

[sandyRoe]

Wait, she's a bird with a long neck.

[Tilly2]

I read it as 'animal'.

New reading glasses. 😂

They went home with £1,500 each though,not bad for a day out.

[ToraToraTora]

Yep TBF they showed how to do it, small prize but they got it.

That's nothing compared to the answer I once shouted out at the tv when watching the chase.

The question was something like, what nickname was given to unmarried women that worked in the cotton mills?

Too late  -   I'd already shouted out 'cloth-ears'.

It should have been spinsters. . . .

[Tilly2]

Why cloth ears, The Winner?

in todays world, its considered derogatory, but in my childhood, it was a well-known phrase for someone working in the cotton mills (including members of our family).

[Tilly2]

I know what cloth ears means, TW. I just don't understand why you blurted that out as an answer.

[TheWinner]

because I missed the 'unmarried' bit, and just heard "nickname for women working in cotton mills". This seems to happen to the people nervous on tv.

[TheWinner]

they miss parts of the question, which leads to silly answers, (so TTT can have a go at them on here).  Yes, I walk amongst you! and thats why I won't ever be tempted to go on it for real.
