Weekly Bonus Question
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. Any answers submitted using the "Send us a letter" form on the right will be summarily ignored.
And since nobody likes a smart alec, kudos will be deducted for predictability in your suggestions.
This week's answer is 7lb DOUBLE GLOUCESTER.
UPDATE 1825 GMT: It's the cheese used in cheese roll, stopped because of concerns about crowd control.
We liked:
- SkarloeyLine's Shakespeare's original title for Richard III?
- And rogueslr's Congratulations Mrs Gloucester, it's twins!
