Dolphin Inn Midsomer Norton January Quiz

Hi All
Here is my January offering - I left out the picture round as it was even too hard for the folks at the quiz - and they live here! Hope Chris doesn't close us down, be a shame to lose this valuable source of quiz ideas
I must say that these days there are lots of sites out there giving away quizzes in exchange for the click throughs from the online ads they host - no need for sharing - just make a few bob out of promos
Food for thought ???
Enjoy....
