CLUB SANDWICH 41

QUIZ TIME

            Club Sandwich readers regularly send in quizzes so fiendish that even you Fun Club readers would be seriously flummoxed. This time we have selected two - or three, really, as you will see - which give normal human beings a fighting chance. Answers are upside down at the foot of the page.

No. 1

            Let Robert Brown of Colchester, Essex introduce his questions: "For many years, Paul McCartney has been composing songs that contain names of characters, some of whom are real, others totally imaginary. Below I have listed 20 names, all of whom have appeared in songs that are directly attributed as being written by Paul. To test your knowledge of Paul's music, simply write down the title of the song in which the character appears."

             1. Nancy
             2. Davy Crockett
             3. Loretta Martin
             4. Patty
             5. Ollie Hardy
             6. (Mr.) Lear

            N.B. No. 10 is slightly off beam, but I think we'll forgive Robert in view of the 19 goodies.
