Another local quiz Jane and not sure how I am going to tell you as they will remove it I think and by the way I still cant find a replacement for asp other than rhea!

Do you use the quizzing site

Question Author

Thanks to everyone

I missed one - Sling out of the hotel for stealing prizes (7) and I am sure the Frankie one is an anagram of hitthen

The hotel one is RAFFLES.

Badly hit then satirised by Frankie.....

Could that be Pompeii (not exactly a landmark, but arguably a monument) and satirised on TV by Frankie Howard in Up Pompeii....?

Hamlet's Elsinore
Kronborg Castle in Denmark?

How're we doing smouse?  I know you said thanks (much appreciated) but how about some stars or feedback - it's nice to know if we're vaguely in the right mindset!!

The cupola one has got to have 'roof' or 'dome' in there somewhere, but I can't think of a famous shiny roof apart from the one in Innsbruk.

A gem of a cupola .....Dome of the Rock
Jerusalem.
Question Author

Sorry Ipek you all deserve stars. I had got dome but couldnt get anything else but have now seen there is a dome of the rock in Jerusalem and it looks shiny to me and goes with the gem

Happy with Pompeii I think I needed a rest I was on the lines of an anagram and Frankie Vaughan or Frank Sinatra

Maybe I am thick but confused by angel of the north and the south of the border bit

so that leaves me with

SPAM IS A REAL HAM BRAND if I havent bored everyone to death

Question Author
Thanks shaneystar your answer appeared while I was typing!

Well smouse here's a suggestion from a colleague of mine (you can tell it's Friday afternoon, can't you!!)....

real ham brand = Alhambra, as in palace in Granada

.....no idea where the spam fits in though - over to you!!

Question Author

At least ten stars for that ipek.

Thats why I miss going to work - no one to share them with any more

I've had this guys quizzes before and there is always one that runs through and this is the one - dont care about the spam

Now can you or your clever friend tell me why south of the border can be angel of the north

Well smouse the Angel of the North is just south of the border with Scotland!

....tenuous but accurate.
