Yeh, right on!!12/15 disagree with question 1, googled it afterwards and it came back as my answer also being right so I'm claiming 13/15
If you said 'America' as the answer to Q1 you can only have got 14.
First four google searches.....
Limey is a predominantly North American slang nickname for a British person. It originally referred to British sailors
a British person, term comes from sailors who came to the New World preventing scurvy from sucking limes. Term indigenous to North America
Some Americans refer to British people as limeys. Some people consider this use offensive.
Why Americans call the British 'limeys'
I cant find any reference to Australia

As the organiser and provider of the quizzes I can confirm the correct answer to the first question is America. Anyone who disagrees is expected to take over the job!

Clean sweep for me ,15 . It can't last.
See post #11 Minkey! When would you like to start posting the quizzes?
The only people in Australia when the British sailors were sucking limes were aboriginals and British prisoners! IMHO.
I am all for Minkey posting the quizzes.See post #11 Minkey! When would you like to start posting the quizzes?
I am sure she will check that the so called answers are correct before posting.
And Irish prisoners - maybe they were British then - sometimes for as little as stealing a chicken to avoid starvation. I think also for breeding purposes.See post #11 Minkey! When would you like to start posting the quizzes?
