Brain Of Britain

[Canary42]

Having just sorted out a crossword clue with the help of material from Neveracrossword, it occurred to me what an enormous wealth of knowledge there is amongst the Answerbank membership (the clue incidentally needed knowledge of football and WW1).

 

We are a veritable Brain of Britain  😊

The Answerbank membership is so varied, and the members have so many talents, that it is not surprising if you can find someone who knows exactly how to answer a problem.

^^^ That's the repeat.  The programmes first go out at 3pm on Mondays and are then repeated at 11pm on the following Saturday.

Current series available here:

Thanks Haras and Chris. I must remember to listen in. I used to enjoy listening years ago.

^^^ I prefer Round Britain Quiz.  It only goes out during the first half of the year though and, annoyingly, there aren't any programmes from this year's series still available online 😞

That's another program that I used to enjoy listening to over 50 years ago !

Over 60 years since I used to listen - on the wireless 😋
