That's right greedy kite, we're on the same wavelength.

I'm having it too then because I've looked at it again and it can't really be anything else.

Cheers pal, Les40

Les40 & others - Please remember that you can email me at theSpringQuiz@btconnect.com with any queries if you don't want to make them public.

I understand your hesitancy about 100, but I believe it is a de facto placename even if it is not strictly the name of a city, town or village. Its Wikipedia entry refers to it as "an area in...", so to my mind that makes it a placename.

I hope you are enjoying the quiz.

No problem MacQuizzer,

It was only because all the others (up to now) are towns and cities that I hesitated to enter the name.
I am enjoying it and I'm nearly three quarters way there with 148 answers.
I keep going back to a select few because they're in the middle of a block and I know the first letter, but just can't crack them.
It's good that you've mixed in large cities with villages to keep us on our toes

Plenty of time left yet.

Thanks again, Les40

I agree with you Les40 about mixing towns and villages. Especially pleased to see No. 66 included as my niece and her husband live there (not many others do!) and I didn't even realise it was on a map! Hope many more continue to support this excellent quiz.

MaisieP - The answer I have for No. 66 is a town of 20000 inhabitants and is undoubtedly on the map. I wonder if one of us has the wrong answer?

Hi Lynette. I got my answer from an anagram and have had another look at it but can't see any other answer - perhaps there are two possibles?

I must have the same as you for 66.
I just checked the population and it matches.

I now see your town which I would say is definitely correct - still like my small village answer but I was maybe too quick to jump in there!

It's a shame your village did not get an appearance. Neither did my hometown and that is very big!
