Hasn't @LSWR Cavalier got the correct answer as regards question 7 in post #16,536 already, i.e. a "Packham's Triumph" is a variety of pear?

 

[444045]

Hasn't @LSWR Cavalier got the correct answer as regards question 7 in post #16,536 already, i.e. a "Packham's Triumph" is a variety of pear?

Yes thats correct and I said that in post #16,540, my apologises.

 

[Mcr Warrior]

Wasn't sure why post #16,542 had still been inviting further answers to question 7 which meant that incorrect guesses continued to come in.

Do we now have an overall winner?

 

[444045]

7 peach? Gooseberry?

Apologises to you @LSWR Cavalier , you got the right answer for this question earlier on post #16,540.

 

[444045]

Thanks to everyone who took part, I'm pleased to say that we have joint winners with 5 correct answers each,

@LSWR Cavalier & @Gloster - if you would like to decide between you who will ask the next question please.

 

[Gloster]

Unless @LSWRCavalier has some questions ready, I can provide a group this afternoon which I hope aren’t too obscure.
