Thanks to all the participants.
The winner of Quiz 2 with an outstanding score of 27 points is *drum roll*
(party) Paula (party)
A special mention goes to Suzi with the witty and possibly correct answer to the following:
question (30): Irving Berlin was famous for writing what?
Answer: Postcards, I awarded 1/2 point for sheer brilliance (and he probably did write postcards) (giggle)
Answer I was looking for was "songs" though accepted "musicals" as he wrote songs for musicals and was involved with musicals.
The mini car question (24) I would have said 1960's it first appeared on British roads in 1959 so the answer was 1950's.
