   Clothing Answers

1   The Croatian soldiers inspired the cravat, later becoming the neck tie – I'll take either. Cravat is a corruption of the word Croat.

2   Plus 4s extend 4 inches below the knee

3   A tie wig is the name of the wig worn by barristers.

4   2 half points for this. A signet ring is worn on the little finger- half a point – of the non-dominant hand - the other half point.

5   All those styles, Ascot etc, are just a small sample of various collar styles.

6   Blue and Green should not be seen without a colour in between.

7   Glenurquhart is usually called Prince of Wales check.

8   The shoe style is an Oxford

9   Sometimes Always Never is about the buttons of a suit jacket. It is whether, top to bottom, they should be done up.

10   The coat-wearer was Michael Foot. The media told the public it was a "donkey jacket".

New round - Multiple Choice.

Nice and easy – I'll give you three choices. The choices are in alphabetical order.

1   What is heaviest, an American Ton, an Imperial Ton, or a Metric ton?

2   Which of these Cities has the highest population – London, Tokyo or Washington DC?

3   Of these three, which country has the highest population – France, Germany or the United Kingdom?  I have used the national estimates, not the UN one.

4   Which is the most northerly station on the London Underground – is it Amersham, Chalfont and Latimer, or Chesham?

5   Of these three, who was King of Britain the longest – George the first, George the second, or George the third.

6   Which of these counties is the largest by land area – Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, or Oxfordshire?

7   The mainland of which country is furthest west – England, Scotland or Wales? That is the mainland – NOT any islands, and I have used lines of longitude, not distance from the Prime Meridian

8   Which Allied wartime leader was born first? Churchill, Roosevelt, or Stalin?

9   Which of these Tragedies did Shakespeare write first? Hamlet, King Lear, or Macbeth?

10   The three longest motorways in the UK are the M1, M4, and M6. Which is the longest?

Sent my answers in a PM for you to score, please.
Least, I hope I've sent my answers in a PM as I can't find a method to see what I've sent or haven't.

Roy

I had to send mine as a PM, as when I scored my guesses I think I got 10/10 and didn't want to put up my answers if I did get them all right. Not bragging. Just explaining and not wanting to spoil others from playing along. I could have waited, fair enough, for the answers to be put up online but, it's added motivation for others if Last Hussar states I got 100% just by guessing (though I did get 0% in the last round  ;D )
