Weekly Bonus Question
10:56 UK time, Friday, 5 February 2010
Welcome to the Weekly Bonus Question.
Each week the news quiz will offer an answer. You are invited to suggest what the question might have been.
Suggestions should be sent using the COMMENTS BOX IN THIS ENTRY (and not in the form on the right). And since nobody likes a smart alec, kudos will be deducted for predictability in your suggestions.
This week's answer is AMBIENT SAUSAGE ROLLS.
UPDATE: The correct question is how were the meat-and-pastry treats labelled in Co-op?
Of your deliberately wrong suggestions, we liked:
- Nzie's What do you give to stressed sauerkraut?
- Valerie Ganne's What happens if you put an ambient sausage on the top of a hill?
- alan_addison's My oven is busted, my microwave on the blink, but I desire a small snack of mechanically recovered meat wrapped in an oily pastry. Oh, Delia, what can I have?
- FilboidStudge's After many more years of training, what has Esther Rantzen's dog finally succeded in saying?
- MorningGlories' How was Melton Mowbray translated into Japanese?
Thanks to all who entered, and apologies for the late running of this update.
