10/7/2021 0 Comments QUIZ OF THE WEEK 10 July 2021
Ok, I have to start with an apology... I don't know whether it was my second vaccine jab that got me all muddled or just the fact it has been a very busy week, but I honestly thought that yesterday was Thursday. That is why there was no quiz of the week posted. To make up for it there is a great one today.
The image is from a few years back and has to be the best headline ever written. I mean, who does not want to read what happened next?
A week of good and bad news in many ways...
It has been a great week for football fans with the last eight teams being decided in the UEFA Euro 2020 finals; not so good for the British and Irish Lions rugby team as their influential captain, Alun Wyn Jones has been ruled out of the South African Tour with injury. Good for Labour after a by-election win and not so good for a certain Conservative health minister. Great news for people who wish to travel abroad with vaccine certificates and Green List countries allowing to this happen, but not brilliant news for travel firms who are still facing confusion and problems with their industry. So how much attention have you been paying to the other news this week? 24/6/2021 0 Comments Quiz of the Week - 25 June 2021
