1) No sign of the times for most of this year
2) Where a walker completed a record mile
3) Turned up for his medal 4 years late
4) Became world champion while he was asleep

Hi,
Finished this quiz some time ago, will search out the answers for you if nobody comes up with the answers.
1. was the year when Big Ben was shut down for repairs.

re 1)I copied this;
John Walker broke the World Record in the mile run with a time of 3:49.4 minutes set at Göteborg , Sweden, on 12 August 1975.

Thanks Celadon & trevor, Celadon do you remember the answer to; Residents of Cattistock, for example. answer was a group/singer

sorry,that's for clue 2.

I was wondering wether clue 4) was an awful pun. "while he was asleep" being Wayne Sleep, who set some sort of record in ballet dancing. (if you set a record does that make you world champion?).

trevor you were right

in 1973 sleep establishedd a world record by doing an entrachat-douze - a jump with 12 beats of the foot, this record still stands today.

would never have got this without trevors idea of what the quizz was looking for

Mmmm... I'm still unsure that "while he was asleep" would refer to Wayne Sleep. I'd pencil it in until someone posts a better answer (or not).

These are what I've answered, cannot promise that they are correct.
1).1976
2).Gothenberg
3).Solzhenitsyn
4).Danny (cannot remember why I had this answer)

Residents of cattistock, for example - The Village People.

Best of luck

Celadon.

Danny, the Champion of the World ???

1975 children's book by Roald Dahl.????

I don't get the clue tho, if it is right.

Thanks Trevor,

Thats where I got my answer from.

Celadon.
