ranworthbreeze Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 ten out of twelve for me but I guessed at many of the answers. Regards Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polly Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Yes 10/12 and some guesswork involved which I prefer to call 'logic' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 10/12 as well, got Vancover dock wrong, thought that was the basin by his statue. And the date went for 1910 not 1884. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 The deliberate mistake is including the Blyth., not one strech is in Norfolk. Entirely in Suffolk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 The Blyth is within the EDP circulation region but if it is a mistake then it's one of two, the other being a question of identity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 The mistake was calling the the river at Acle The Yare. It was changed very quickly to Bure!(Question 1) "This lifeboat - not in its natural surroundings - has just passed Acle bridge going downstream on the river Bure. Its crew now face a long row to the next town. Where will that be?" OH! 11 out of 10 for me. Got the last one wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 Almost there, Bill, but the error is not in the questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 Here's a strong clue, the first picture of the lifeboat at Acle and Acle being where, as if none of you know!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JennyMorgan Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 Spot on, Iain, A Scotsman telling all you Norfolk lads & lasses, what are you like? Iain, how come that you are only a two star moderator? That begs two questions, do you deserve more or do we deserve better? Personally I'd suggest it's the first and five stars would be a more just reward! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all of the Mods are two star, even our illustrious "Admiral" No big deal, but kind of you to mention, thank you. Iain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broadsword Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 10/12 - I got the Blyth and Nar questions wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 Danny, no shame in 10 out of 12, the EDP had two errors too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDTRIPLE Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 (edited) I did rubbish. But then, in all honesty, i`ve never heard of most of them. I only know of the navigable rivers of the Broads and Fens. Edited June 22, 2016 by Hockham Admiral language Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
