Weekly Bonus Question
15:46 UK time, Friday, 15 January 2010
Welcome to the Weekly Bonus Question.
Each week the news quiz will offer an answer. You are invited to suggest what the question might have been.
Suggestions should be sent using the COMMENTS BOX IN THIS ENTRY (and not in the form on the right). And since nobody likes a smart alec, kudos will be deducted for predictability in your suggestions.
This week's answer is CHAOS AND JOY IN PUBLIC PLACES.
UPDATE 1604 BST: The correct question is, what is the point of "No Trousers Day" on the underground?(More details - )
Of your wilfully and deliberately wrong questions, we liked:
- Killasafc's Gents & Ladies Loos to be renamed
- Vickymeldrew's Simon Cowell & Sinitta to live in USA permanently.
- ARoseByAnyOther's Anarchists AGM theme?
- MightyGiddyUpGal's Reading out the list of school and work closures?
Thanks to all who entered.
