Weekly Bonus Question
Welcome to the Weekly Bonus Question.
Each week the news quiz will offer an answer. You are invited to suggest what the question might have been.
Suggestions must be sent by submitting a comment BELOW, where it says "Comments". Entries via the "Send us a letter" form on the right will be summarily ignored.
And since nobody likes a smart alec, kudos will be deducted for predictability in your suggestions.
This week's answer is DECOMMISSIONED HELMETS.
UPDATE 1643 BST: The answer is what's being used in place of traditional hanging baskets at Dartmouth police station? ()
Of your deliberately wrong questions, we liked:
- Fi-Glos's What is the name of the Village People tribute band?
- Filboid's What's the number one best seller at crazylarrysdecommissionedhelmets.com?
- Tremorman's What does the Hunchback of Notre Dame use to Iron his shirts on?
- SkarloeyLine's What is the most common hairstyle on British passport photos?
- and Candace9839's What follows a bad hair day in the Metrosexual Army?
Thanks to all who entered.
