Yes, that’s right, the BBC are basically communist agents intent on the destruction of the West. That, and overturning the will of the British people. The British print media on the other hand, are bastions of middle ground sanity, champions of truth and justice for all…

PS: The quiz needs a couple of type-ins

Also please remove the apostrophes in 'Aston Martins' and 'Monarchs'. Also nice if you could accept 'Tube' for London Underground.

The monarch has more than one official residence (as well as their private homes). Suggest question is either changed or multiple answers accepted.

more type ins, 'Bond'. I tried every year between 45 and 80 but none were accepted. It is common to accept last two digits for years in the past century. Should just require a number for the Roman question and BC.

Thought Penzance would've been the answer for most SW but the British are weird in terms of whats officially a city or not.

The Romans didn't invade in the 1st century BC. Julius Caesar TRIED to, but it wasn't achieved until the reign of Claudius in 1st Century AD.

Just a few notes. Apostrophes make a word possessive, not plural, so it should be "Aston Martins" and "Monarchs". Also, "Bond" should work for James Bond. Also, it was the kingdoms of England and Scotland that merged. You could maybe say the monarchies merged, but definitely not the monarchs.
