Quiz – The Result you've all been waiting for plus Answers

[Jan Harber]

The Winner of the ECF Christmas Quiz, by a whisker, is geoid96, John with a grand total of 36 points out of a possible 40.
Another John, Debenair, also had 36 points, but I have awarded the prize to geoid96 for correctly identifying every one of the 28 photos.

Well done to both; and the next in line who were: Dom Buckley, Dan Tribe, Karousie, Sailorman and Spuddy. The entries were quality not quantity...
Thanks all for having a bash, hope you enjoyed doing the Quiz as much as I did setting it (with some posting help from Alison).

Thank you for posting quiz.

Jan,
I'll spare the forum the full Oscars winners speech, but thanks very much for setting such an enjoyable quiz. I feel that I probably had a slightly unfair advantage as I have probably visited most, if not all of the featured Adnams' establishments.
John.

Well done John. Even I got the pub ones..... some of the other photos were, errmm, impossible.

Well done John.

We hold the prize, which has traditionally been awarded at the spring ECF gathering, so I hope you will be able to go to it whenever it is - probably April. If you can't make it, we can arrange to give it to you some other time. Also, you have the privilege of setting next year's Christmas quiz, in whatever format appeals to you!
