It's back....

A year I'd sooner not repeat - but at least we have time for some covid-secure fun before the end of the year  ;D

Same rules as always -
Simply PM me your answers and I will post the amount you have correct, send as many PM's with answers as you like.  To win if you have 10 correct answers we will hold a draw, if no one has 10 then the 1st prize goes to whoever has most.

Please do not post answers in this thread.

Last entry is 31st December 2020, after which I will post the prize (s) to the winner (s).

Good luck :)
