A true Englishman would be eating Weetabix.

If you're eating any of the foreign muck you get over there, I'll get you stopped at customs - I have friends.

Not bad. Shredded wheat another favourite, and my only American cereal is shredded oats.

No. Too easy.

The year of the vintage was a significant year for the land in which this wine was made.

You can guess my guess but that would be quiz within a quiz and it is one quiz at a time.

Rules adjudication: the questioner may not ‘guess’ an answer to the question posed by the questioner, especially not as an artificial device to give some favoured guesser an extra guess. Really, admins 1 and 2: England expects better.

In case you've forgotten, I don't bat for England :wink:

I suspect that Admin 1 did not guess again before going to bed simply so that Admin 3 could not do so either.
