8 today my best ever woo hoo.
On a side note I visited the carlsberg brewery in Copenhagen a couple of years ago and was quite surprised at their use of the swastika in their marketing. Obviously this was pre war and they didn't know what the symbol would become.
Those wimin were in the nip.

Had a revisit to this one and realised I only got a seven and not eight. I missed a question and didn't know the answer to it.
