Unfortunately I haven't yet received the official answers to last week's Beatles and ABBA quiz, so I'm afraid you'll have to live in suspense while waiting for them to come through! Rest assured, I will post the answers when I can!
So for a change of pace, over the next couple of weeks our quizzes will be taking a slightly different form. Becky has shared some of the weekly quizzes they have been enjoying in work and thought we might like a try as well. There are a few different rounds to keep you going - each on different themes to vary it a bit too! Remember, no cheating and send me your scores and we'll see who's the winner of the little Mega Quiz prize!
