[Deb]

I am flying solo this week. No googling or husband's help. I have 15 answers but some maybe very wild guesses.

Thank you for organising Phil,
Love Debbie x

[denise]

Think we just declare deb the winner 😄

[Barry52]

This is a tough one Phil. I am certain of 10 and could take a few wild guesses at others. Football, rugby and golf are my favourite sports but athletics, cricket and tennis find me out.

[GaryM]

17 with 8 guesses. No help from anywhere.

[Bowler]

Yep it’s a toughie. So far less than 10 for me.
Deb what’s your phone number ( don’t tell Denise )

[GaryM]

Think we just declare deb the winner 😄

Just hold your horses there. It's only day 1 and we haven't had the answers yet.

[denise]

I think I know the first question. I shall have to ask Stephen for help. I don't know any sport and haven't seen any the whole time we've been here. 🤔

[Nettie]

I’ve probably got 10 and could guess at a couple more x

[Bowler]
