If you enjoyed this quiz, why not try one of my "On This Day" quizzes on your birthday. There's one quiz for every day of the year including February 29th !
I know there are websites etc that describe the unicorn as Scotland's national 'animal', but there is no such animal as a unicorn, it's simply a heraldic device, like a griffin, a dragon and a two-headed eagle. This isn't what stopped me getting 100%, however, as I STILL haven't learned the order of Henry VIII's wives.
But how do you know that Unicorns don't exist or did exist but are now extinct ? Is the Yeti, or Bigfoot real ? I'm sure there were stories about a "great animal with a long snout and horns coming out of its mouth" before elephants were officially discovered.
Oh, and I still get Henry VIII's wives mixed up, he had that many !
Thanks for taking my quiz and the time to comment.
Their official name is actually Leicester Football Club. I didnt say it was Leicester Tigers Rugby Union Club in the question. I stated "Where do the Tigers Rugby Union team come from". This distinguishes the team from a Rugby League club. The question is I think OK, so it will remain as is. Thanks for your comment though.
I’m just amazed I got all the sports questions correct despite having no idea of the answers (other than the Liverpool one, which I got by geography!)!
They have to be applied for I believe rather than just being sent out. I think the relatives of the person approaching 100 usually do this. If you had a monarchy in the US maybe they would do this. I'm not sure if other monarchies around the world do the same thing.
I believe it is done in the Netherlands too, a letter from the king aswell as a visit from the mayor. (not everywhere I think).
Also when a couple is married for 50 years I think they often get a visit and an article in the local newspaper. And apparently (I just looked it up) at 70 years of marriage you get a visit of the "chamberlain" of the king. I Never knew we had those!! (Kamerling) Apparently we have 12 one for every province (3 until recently, one seperate one for the capital too)
I didn't know it was a thing in NL too, but it does make sense. I suppose most of the Royal Families do this. I know that some also make a speech at Christmas the same as the UK, well, the Belgian Royal Family do at least, I watched it once when I was stuck in Ostend over Christmas.
The "Usual" age is 17, you are right though, under certain circumstances you can drive at 16 legally in the UK. This is reserved for drivers with a disability.
Indeed - I hesitated over this answer as technically it is 16, though I guess not for all people, as toowise wisely points out. So it depends what is meant by "you" in the question - if I was in receipt of disability allowance, 16 would be the right answer, so perhaps the question should say something like "usually" or "the majority of people" ... but is a bit nit-picky
