Me, I'm over in the corner with the dunce hat on.

I hardly believe that. As some said here like the squirrely one who likes cheese and Steve, one was wrong and some of the others questions may have been misleading or trick questions. The British ships lost completely threw me.

Thanks for posting the questions though. It made me think which always gives me a headache.

33/35

It had to be said old chap.

32/35, stumbled on the same one as everyone else (warships), also the number of Soviet civilian deaths, and who Britain signed that 20 year treaty with.

Indeed. I thought they were talking capital ships there.

That's what we've all been talking about, while trying not to talk about it.

Indeed. Revised score:
32/34

[Torplexed]

34/35. I faltered on the major warship like most. I guessed on the answer to the Dambusters squadron leader question but got lucky.

[Rockstar]

missed two.

One I had no idea who the Bevin Boys were.

The other I got wrong was when I pressumed to think 'major' meant 'capital'.

Pretty subjective use of the term major, although they had a major effect collectively. Makes you wonder if the authors of the quiz ever saw those pictures of U-Boats being mass-produced.
