This weekend we have come up with a little brain teaser about a certain number with a brass band connection if you are to get your hands on a great trio of the latest CDs, plus a 4BR diary and a couple of bottles of Blue Juice valve oil.
Question:
What number links Swanbrook Transport Band’s Pontins Championship victory of 1977 with Edson Arantes do Nascimento playing for Santos against Vasco da Gama at the Maracana Stadium in November 1969, and the total mileage a pair of bespectacled Scottish brothers would walk in a pop song to fall down by a door....
Clue:
Swanbrook’s was the first in contesting history.
Find the numerical link between a Pontins winning brass band, a famous footballer and a pair of goggle eyed Scottish songsters...4BR
Weekly quiz answer:
Thanks to everyone who knew that it was the great Malcolm Arnold who was the composer who linked Ingrid Bergman as a missionary in China, Sir Alec Guinness as a bonkers bridge building Lieutenant Colonel in war time Burma and George Cole as a spiv in a boisterous girls school with a transvestite headmistress.
He wrote the scores to The Inn of the Sixth Happiness’ in 1958, ‘The Bridge on the River Kwai’ in 1957 and of course, ‘The Belles of Trinian’s’ in 1954.
The winner:
Congratulations to Steve Pegg of Chesterfield who was one of plenty to get the answer right!
He will be getting three CDs and a 4BR diary, as well as couple of bottles of Blue Juice valve oil which he intends to give to the music teacher in his grandson’s primary school!
