I like that LOL
You were a little late to mark.last night
Hope you understand that I can't sit behind my laptop from 8 o'clock
till say midnight waiting for folk to post, but everybody ultimately will get marked.
No worries at all on my part, Ray.
I wouldn't mind if they weren't marked. The pleasure is in doing the quiz and kicking self immediately after when I scroll through and see who knew better than me anyway.


And, once I've made an attempt, I sometimes google anyway to see the ones I didn't know. All good fun.

And most appreciated.

Cheers Corky.
I enjoy doing the quizzes, and I get to learn stuff as well.
I didn't realise till this week that Maundy Thursday was a celebration of The Last Supper,
so there's knowledge.

I assumed it was celebrating an act of humility of sorts, Ray. What with the sovereign handing out Maundy Money. Hence my guess at the foot washing.
I say guess, I should really call it an EDUCATED guess.

I'm sure our 90 odd year old 'Her Maj' doesn't wash feet anymore LOL,
perhaps a Royal lackie does it.

The STINKER question I knew all about.
John Henry George Lee (1864 – c. 19 March 1945), better known as John Babbacombe Lee, ' The man they could not hang'.
There is a brilliant 'concept album' by Fairport Convention, which tells the story in music and song.
I have put some of the album tracks on the Music Board.
It is widely accepted that John Lee did not kill Miss Emma Anne Whitehead Keyse.
She was his employer, her body was found stabbed and partly burned at her home.
He was in residence at the time and was the obvious suspect, but he did raise the alarm when her body was found.
In Court nobody could be found to defend him and he was sentenced to death by hanging.
It is thought that he took the wrap for somebody else, and maybe the hangman was 'nobbled' so the trapdoor wouldn't work.
He was given a life sentence
Lee continued to petition successive Home Secretaries and was finally released in 1907.

But why would alms make you think of feet, Corky?

It'll be a duty of the royal footmen, Ray
