History (sort of!) Quiz

I'm confident on 3 answers: no.4, no.13 and no.5 (😂)....don't think my brain "gets"this style of quiz....I'm pretty rubbish at cryptic crosswords too😢

Oh I'm getting better! Just worked out no.10 and no.12😁

OK - the answers are coming up in the next post. I've checked back on my scorecards for the quizzes I used this in and the average score (remember for teams of 4 or 6) was 15, so I reckon if you got 5 or more you can give yourself a pat on the back.

I've found another "place names" quiz so look out for it when we get another cold, rainy day (such as tomorrow by all accounts! )

And here are the answers - 

1) 1928 - Women (Over Twenty One) Allowed To Vote
2) 1940 - British Army Evacuated from Dunkirk
3) 1947 - School Leaving Age Raised to Fifteen
4) 1948 - Foundation of National Health Service
5) 1954 - Roger Bannister Runs First Sub Four Minutes Mile
6) 1958 - 8 Manchester United Players Killed in Munich Air Crash
7) 1965 - Death of Sir Winston Churchill
8) 1969 - Death Penalty Abolished in United Kingdom
9) 1971 - Introduction of Decimal Currency in Great Britain
10) 1976 - Harold Wilson Resigns as Prime Minister
11) 1978 - First Test Tube Baby ( Louise Brown) Born
12) 1979 - Margaret Thatcher Elected First Female Prime Minister
13) 1981 - Prince Charles Marries Diana Spencer
14) 1982 - Argentina Invades Falkland Islands, Start of Falklands War
15) 1987 - Corporal Punishment Abolished in State Schools
16) 1989 - 96 Liverpool Supporters Killed in Hillsborough Disaster
17) 1994 - Tony Blair Elected Leader of Labour Party

19) 2014 - Birth of Prince George, Future King

and most importantly 

20) 2016 - Bristol Rovers Win Back to Back Promotions for First Time in Club's History  

Hope you enjoyed the challenge! 👍

I got 10 not counting number 5 as you gave us the answer. 

Gee no chance in number 20 🤣🤣🤣

Looking forward to the next one 😀

Thebells I think I'd have done rubbish in an actual quiz night, but just reading through the questions and returning again the next day solved several. My brain, what you've got one? I hear you ask 🤣, must work in a very strange way!

Well done,  B! 

Damn. I got number 5 wrong!

I'll have to make my clues less subtle from now on then!
