Top banana!​

You clearly know your M6 from your M5.

West Midlands (Warwickshire way back when I entered this mortal coil) born and bred (albeit down in West Country coming up 20 years) so undertook this quiz with a due sense of dread, but got 87% (just got the final question wrong). Phew.

 

[Flick of the Elbow]

I was born and raised in Birmingham but barely knew the place and haven’t lived there for 40 years. It shows in my score, 50%, and some of those were pure guesses !

7/8

Yorkshire born n'bred to boot.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

I found many quite easy, using memory and a bit of logic/educated guesses.

I'm in Scotland and still scored 6/8, so it couldn't have been that difficult.

 

[Flick of the Elbow]

I’d like to think I would do better on Birmingham news quizzes from the 1970’s and early 80’s. Anything after that is after my time.
