OK Selby and Davycc, by my reckoning you've both got a quiz with responses but not final answers from yourselves.

Could you put us out of our misery please.... :lol:

Not least because it seems a bit untidy not to do so before I post my next brainteaser.

I thank yaw :thumbup:

Here we go again for the final time this season, answers to be revealed shortly before the Rotherham game. Remember no googling, wiki etc please!

1. What is the UK's largest town or city without a Primark?

2. Which occasion attracted the fifth largest UK TV audience ever for a one-off event, an accolade it shares with the wedding of Charles and Diana at 28.4 million viewers?

3. It's only possible to type the names of six countries in the world without using the middle row of a standard qwerty keyboard. Which are they? Clue: none are in Europe or Oceania :)

4. Only four players have scored in two different World Cup finals. Unsurprisingly I hadn't heard of the Brazilian Vava (1958 and 1962), but can you name the other three?

5. Excluding Russia which European country does not operate daylight saving time?

6. What is the largest town or city in the UK beginning with the letter T?
