Who ? What ? Where ?
Our fun, weekly quiz, in which we ask you to figure out people, places and things in the news...
WHERE AM I?
● By tradition, the sitting PM visits every year. Margaret Thatcher hated it; David Cameron got told off for trying to help with the dishes and Tony Blair’s son Leo, right, was conceived here.
●I was bought in 1852 for £32,000 – £3.5million in today’s money – and a new castle was built here. I’m worth about £93 million now.
● There’s a 35ft pyramid here in memory of Queen Victoria’s husband, Prince Albert.
● I’m where Elizabeth II was at her happiest. Once while out walking nearby, she encountered two American tourists who didn’t recognise her. ‘Have you ever met the Queen?’ they asked. ‘I haven’t,’ she replied, then turned to her bodyguard and said: ‘But Dick here meets her regularly.’
M● The late Queen also died here, and I’m about to be opened up to guided tours for the first time, at £100 a pop. WHAT AM I?
● I’ve been around since the 15th Century – yet there’s still no definitively correct way to pronounce my name.
● I’m a baked treat – originally a slice from a much larger Scottish quick bread, but now an individual item. The biggest one of me ever made weighed 22st.
● A cafe on the Devon-Cornwall border offers two different seating areas, depending on how you prefer to eat me.
● Last year, a woman completed a personal mission to eat me in every one of the National Trust’s cafes. But now the heritage body is embroiled in a controversy after making me vegan.
WHO AM I? ● I was a window cleaner and pub drummer before finding fame as a comedian.
● I bought Great Yarmouth pier, but alienated locals by saying the resort was ‘full of
overweight people in flip-flops and fat children of all colours and no class’.
●I’m a self-confessed ‘homophobic a ******* ’ – yet had a sexual encounter with a Thai ‘ladyboy’ I picked up in Berlin.
● I once acted as a character witness for a man accused of drug trafficking. He got 30 years.
● I said I’d leave Britain if Labour got into power and, sure enough, I emigrated to Dubai after Tony Blair’s victory (well, seven years after, and absolutely nothing to do with a £700,000 tax bill.)
● I’ve just got engaged again, despite my five previous divorces costing me around £60million.
Answers: Balmoral, a scone, Jim Davidson (of whom Benny Hill, left, said: ‘Met Jim Davidson, a gentleman and a fine comedian. Bought all three a drink.’)
