    Still bitter about being lied to, Greenie? :D

    I'm claiming I used maths today, though really I just made a few guesses and combined them. I'm not sure that counts...

    I should also have said that I'll be taking all questions from books I have here in the house, so it could be from Harry Potter or from Colombia's lonely planet.

    How many flutes would you get from a bottle of champoo? I thought the drinkers would have polished it all off on the night before it lost its fizz.

    Oh lordy. I just read the question properly. NYE only, so any flutes drank after midnight wouldn't be counted.

    Is 'industrial job' a general term for all jobs promised or specifically in an industrial setting?

    It’s who they described it. They also references skilled builders.

    If that info changes anyone’s guess feel free to send an update

    At least I could just say "what will everyone else think?" when you asked. Greenie's gone with there being correct answers like a fool, that means it's always his fault, not ours!
