Tipping Point Question On Prime Ministers Wilson And Macmillan.what Was Their First Name

[gollob]

The answer given was Harold.
Wrong as MacMillan first name was Maurice and Wilson was Charles . Harold was their second Christian names

Sometimes I think the question are too hard like , dad and daddy are terms for what member of the family or even tougher like what sort of business would a restauranteur run

[Barsel]

I thought Wilsons first name was James?

[Zacs-Master]

Wilson was James actually. FAIL claxon.

[Zacs-Master]

Has the heat got to you Gollob?

[Jackdaw33]

...and Macmillan was also James. Double fail.

[nescio]

Macmillan's first name was Maurice.
on a pedantic note, the question of what sort of business a "restauranteur" would run is pretty much impossible to answer, since the term is "restaurateur"

[Jackdaw33]

Wrong again. Maurice Macmillan was Harold Macmillan's son, also an MP and briefly minister under Heath.

[Barsel]

jackdaw he did have a son called Maurice but McMillan was also called Maurice.

[Theland]

That must have been a penalty pot.

[Jackdaw33]

Mea culpa, I am wrong. I always laboured under the misapprehension that Macmillan and Wilson shared the same two forenames.

[Prudie]

Just as well Tipping Point kept it simple :-)

[Hopkirk]

Well it is Tipping Point, not University Challenge.

[Old_Geezer]

But is seems like there was a single answer so one is being asked to find the common forename.

[Peter Pedant]

well after reading this
I feel almost .....
sane
( more sane than I usually do then )

[Cloverjo]

The program is as silly as heck. I remember one question like “what is the first letter of the alphabet?”

[jno]

Brown was James. Callaghan was Leonard. Wilson was James. Macmillan was Maurice. Eden was Robert. PMs seem more dissatisfied with their names than are the public at large?

[Jackdaw33]

And Boris is Alexander.

[Canary42]

and Maggie was Hilda
