The General Knowledge Quiz
Don't tell me I'm not helpful!
I'm in a particularly generous mood today, so I thought I'd share my correct answers to the General Knowledge Quiz from the July 1987 issue of Good Housekeeping that I picked up in the hospital waiting room. It says the prize on offer expires at midnight tonight, so you’ll need to act fast!

Could be a) or b), but definitely not c) because you can’t possibly fill a bathtub with that much Pick ‘n Mix…
… or, maybe you can? I don’t know.
Anyway, that’s the quiz sorted. You just need to work out the answers to the remaining 3 questions, and you’re all good. 👍
If you fax your answers through to 01 499 1234, you'll be entered into a prize draw to win a luxury teasmade and a year's supply of Angel Delight (flavours subject to availability).
You’re welcome!

PS: June’s winner was apparently Alan from Exeter, who won a caravanning holiday in Great Yarmouth and a box of Finders Crispy Pancakes. So, it’s worth a go!
PPS: The Milkybars are on me!
