Do you guys not read!

And I don't see either of you two coming up with any quizzes ............ or are you only capable of providing criticising answers instead of ones relevant to the questions?


Shane

[trevnhil]

I didn't know if you didn't make quizzes that you could not correct an error. Sorry, I will know better in future.

[jagwheels]

Dominic will give edit priviledges to anyone posting a quiz if you request it. You can only edit your own post & without that priveledge it would be very difficult to manage. It seems to work very well. Good quiz Shane. Moving on
