Which cake/biscuits for the Staffroom?

[StaffAssociationRepresentative]

@Piggywaspushed has requested Lemon Drizzle. I think I might prefer carrot cake.

And who doesn’t love a chocolate hob nob?

You'll know I haven't cheated, Chloe, purely by the lack of correct answers I'll give 😆

I have now got all my answers ready on a word doc ready to upload!

Quiet(er) day at the office...

Got my answers ready....

I am two minutes early but I always am!

1. What word in the English language is always spelled incorrectly? Loving the trick questions : incorrectly

1. 2. Vietnam claimed independence from which country in 1945? France? Unless this is a trick.

1. Which is it correct to say, “The yolk of the egg is white” or “The yolk of the egg are white?” Haha ha good one! Neither.

1. Count the num¬ber of times the let¬ter F appears in the fol¬low¬ing sentence:

Fin¬ished files are the result of years of sci¬en¬tific study com¬bined with the experience of years. Six? I am so doubting myself… unless it’s 1 because capital F.

1. What is the capital city of Ethiopia? Addis Abbaba (couldn’t google to check spelling..)

1. Complete the next line of this lyric:

Tommy used to work on the docks, union’s been on strike (Obviously all teachers do is strike ) I think it’s ‘he’s down on his luck, so tough, so tough…’ Air grab.

1. In The Matrix, does Neo take the blue pill or the red pill? Look, I hate The Matrix : can I phone a friend?

My answers

One of the teachers in my school brings in m&s Belgian chocolate variety boxes. They're the best! Her mum buys them for us whenever she goes to m&s. We love her mum!

Anything chocolaty. I'm a chocoholic, so you win all my love and affection with chocolate. I'm also diabetic and shouldn't be eating any cake or biscuits, but we'll ignore that while we're in lockdown

Just bumping post in case anyone else want any to post answers.

Thanks!

Hopefully more participants next time!!

Oh man, gutted I missed this. LOVE a quiz!

My parents owned a pub in the 80's and 90's and every Friday the teachers from the local schools would come for lunch and a couple of pints. So would the local doctor, pharmacist and magistrates!!

Yay! I win! I love winning!

And I like fox's biscuits, do double yay.

You may select your favourites first piggy, I'll eat any biscuits

I like the jammy ones best.

Quite happy with that! Would rather not have a clue on two of them then make silly mistakes. It’s the only area of life I get competitive about, quizzes! Trivial pursuit is a danger zone

Ah no. I missed it too. Next time...

Sorry guys! Congrats to the winners - I got caught up with school and work and couldn't get away.

:(

I'd only have got about 4! If it's not general knowledge about Harry Potter, I haven't a clue...
