Can I have a "P" please Bob - Scotland (2nd edition)

Can I have a "P" please Bob - Scotland (2nd edition)


Postby CharlesT » Sat Aug 01, 2020 10:55 am

As I noted earlier, it is time for a new thread to continue this quiz, the former having in excess of 380 pp. So here it is. First, a confession, the title always puzzled me as I had never heard of Blockbusters until I looked it up when considering a title for this thread. Having done so I bow to tradition and retain it.

Now, to poser number one of the new era.

Which P may only be encountered naturally in LL and LE?

Afraid not, but you're thinking along the right lines.

The Powan lives naturally in Loch Lomond and Loch Eck? (It has been introduced to other lochs.)

Thanks CharlesT!

CP is a well-known dish from D. But no-one has ever tasted it.

I suspect Tinto63 has tongue in cheek but the answer is presumably cow pie from Dundee?
