Yes, I saw Arachnids post and was thumping my head at the obvious answer, well obvious when someone writes it down.
Not very good at Greek leave that to sis when on holiday. Strangely enough the guide books dont have much in the way of sums or love mentioned. Efharisto

Thank you Cleopas for taking the time to make up these quizzes. What a devious and intricate mind you must have. And some of the puns....

I do enjoy the quiz though so dont know what that say's about me.

Must admit to a wee bit help on the last answer.
