A picture quiz, but with a difference.

British steal red car (red ones always popular with the boy racers ...)

Correct. British (bulldog), (Sapphire &) Steel, red car.

Well done all who took part. I've got a dozen or so more picture sequences saved. Look out for another quiz on the late May Bank Holiday weekend.

Look out for another quiz on the late May Bank Holiday weekend.

May I suggest adding that to the forum calendar?

... naughty Tufty, having another go before the 24 hours were up.

Oops! An honest mistake... I allowed myself to be confused by the time format; the leading zero switches my tiny squirrel brain into 24-hr clock mode, and no amount of trailing 'AM' or 'PM' is able to dislodge the idea. I promise to be more careful in future.

Thanks for putting up the quiz; I really enjoyed it and I hope my transgression didn't deprive anyone of their go.

Indeed: many thanks for posting that challenging variation on our usual forum quiz format, bignosemac!

Hmm.  Thanks for your suggestion, trout, but I think not.  We on the admin team here are all volunteers, offering our free time to compile such things, so there is a danger that we'd set an expectation of something definitely happening by a particular date, if it were to have a diary entry - but personal circumstances might unfortunately delay its publication on this forum. 

However, I'm sure we'll all look out for bignosemac's next challenging quiz, in due course!

Oops. Sorry for the faux pas. To be honest I had understood that instruction as per each question of the set - until afterwards, when it struck me that I might be wrong. The wording of course is not unambiguous; but such is the deliquescent solidity of meaning in our language. No doubt I should have realised what was intended; I suspect I missed it because when I read it I was thinking "I won't have time to look at that...".

Thank-you for the apology. It's no great issue when the quiz was just for fun. And I can't really admonish you further for your faux pas when your mea culpa includes the the delightfully flowery term, "deliquescent solidity of meaning".

I had to look up 'deliquescent'.  Turns out it's nothing to do with shops that sell cured meats.

As a lover of the English language (I taught it for 27 years to those who were less so), I'd like to thank stuving (oh the pain of writing proper nouns without a capital  ) for introducing me to a new word which will now be brought out for Scrabble).  The educational value of this forum never ceases to impress. 

Please let me add my thanks BNM for an excellent quiz.
