Any help would be appreciated Thanks

As no-one has responded to this post in nearly an hour maybe everyone is as confused as I am!

Q44 – Battle for Bermondsey (the 1983 by-election)??

Do you have answers for either:
Q45 (which is a History question) - English born citizen with their 10th birthday on 10/9/1762?
or
Q69 (which is a Foreign Languages question)- Paris Match (hot off the press)

I don't follow from your question what this is all about, but could the Austrian rock icon be Falco?

...and "Paris Match" ALLUMETTE (French translation)? Fits the rest of the clue in a way!

Thankyou for your help

The answer I have for 45 is John Soane

I think John Soane was born in September 1753, so the dates do not match.

I think also that there may be a trick here as, if memory serves, there was no 10th September 1752 as Britain and the US (then a colony, sorry aristo) moved to the Gregorian calendar. The day after the 2nd of September 1752 was the 14th September 1752. No "English born citizen" could thus claim their 10th birthday on such a date.

You are quite right AB. It is a trick question.

Funny. I thought it was an historian on an extended bad acid trip...

Could question 45 be using the American way of date description ie 9 October?
