Blue Square Thing Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 So, as I got my answer by chance by listening to the Food Programme on Radio 4, lets see if anyone else has ever listened to it. Can you name one of the current regular presenters of the Food Programme? Quote

Of course - lots more from other places around the world I imagine as well. The Food Programme is presented by Sheila Dillon and Dan Saladino btw. Worth catching if you have any interest in food... Over to you. Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 Thanks. History round: Who was the last Tudor monarch ? Quote

+mellers Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 What were the names of Elizabeth's half-siblings (they were related by their father Henry VIII) who were also Tudor monarchs? Quote

+colleda Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 Thanks. During COVID there have been so many documentaries on TV and umpteen of them about the various royals. Question. What valuable substance was brought to England from France in 1939 and stored/hidden in Windsor castle? Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 I'll try a guess at some particular wine/Champagne... Quote

Correction. It was in 1940. The planned movement of the substance was 1939 but it arrived in 1940. Quote
+colleda Posted March 29, 2021 Posted March 29, 2021 Time for another hint. Not edible but if you drank it you may put on weight. Quote
+Boggin's Dad Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 (edited) Something rings a bell about a mission into Scandinavia involving a source of heavy water, I think it was something to do with preventing Germany using it in the development of nuclear weapons. I also recently read a book about the search for superheavy element, and there was a dismantling of Japanese research facilities in the aftermath of World War 2 I am going with deuterium or tritium oxide aka Heavy Water Edited April 1, 2021 by Boggin's Dad Quote
+colleda Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 Ding. Heavy Water, D2O, is correct. Shipped to England from France to keep it out of Nazi hands. Over to BD. Quote
