7 from 10 here

5/10... Q7 is a technicality, I protest.

+1
Portland is connected to the mainland - you can drive onto it! So I claim 8/10....... And the sea areas have changed since I did my Yachtmaster and I've not sailed for 10 years!

Skye bridge ? Does that mean no longer an island ?

Portland link is a bridge at the ferry bridge . The spit of land from Victoria square to ferry bridge is part of Portland . Chesil beach doesn't count. I so wanted to leave the autocrect for Chesil

If Utsire is pronounce OOT-see-ruh (as the quiz says) how come ALL the forecasters stress the second syllable? (as in oot-SEE-ruh).
They're talking out their arse, spoiling my day, when I listen to that forecast more often than I'd like to (inveterate insomniac).

Also, do ship's captains REALLY tune intro Radio 4 in this day and age?

Until recently I went sailing each year with a pal who has a boat. Every single day we were woken up by him clambering about at 0525 to turn on the radio for the shipping forecast. So yes, they do. Invariably we all went back to sleep.

And I got 7/10, not bad for being half asleep when I heard it!

As a commited terrafirmarian i was expecting a 'shouldn't be left near any water unsupervised' score but got 7/10
Based on that score i now feel i may have enough luck to risk a paddle without losing my toes to Jaws!

It's called sleep learning.

Chisel or Cheshire?

 

[Squid lips]

6/10 not bad I suppose having been a boat owner for 20 yrs

 

[Paulus]

7/10 for me.

And since there is a road that goes onto the Isle of Portland it is a peninsula, not an island.

That's what I thought, especially as I've driven on it.

 

[Dave 123]

6/10. I knew all that I got right....

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

3/10, almost pirate status

 

[Mrs M]

2/10
Excuse = I get sea sick

 

[Fnaar]

3/10, almost pirate status

Surely that would be pieces of 8/10

 

[mr_cellophane]

I was expecting to get rock all, but I got 5/10
