GWQ3 - DAY THREE


So, some VERY heavy scoring during the first two days, with over 200 people on 20 out of 20. So this could be a big day for our leaderboard.

I hope you're enjoying the quiz. I know that 'taking part' is the real fun/torture, but don't forget there are 3 signed copies of 'The 100 Most Pointless Things In The World' up for grabs. If you want to see a little 'trailer' that Xander and I made for the book, just click on the link below;




Ok, on to the answers to yesterday's questions. 

THE ANSWERS


11. CANTERBURY
12. YORK (turkeY OR Kenya)
13. CHESTER (Chest E.R.)
14. EXETER
15. LISBURN
16. BURIED S (S under land)
17. SALFORD (anagram)
18. NEWCASTLE (Cleats an anagram of, and thus 'new' CASTLE)
19. DUNDEE
20. CARDIFF (Funny person =CARD I=I follow on Twitter! = FF)
Anyone putting 'Carlisle' for the last question, much as I love Clarke Carlisle he's more of a 'footballer I follow on Twitter', and also wouldn't require an exclamation mark at the end of the clue.
