5. pudding springs to mind, but then so does Tea
6. canes
7. was it the same designer architect nash
8. Thuma, they are fingers and thumb
9. they are all corals
13. one of his cases

10. Ian Fleming created both

Regg3y is correct on No.10, (1pt)

H&J, will have to score your answers individually:

5. pudding springs to mind, but then so does Tea - What, when you're in church ? ::) ::) ::) ;D

6. canes - Will give you half point for that, the correct answer is stick. I've never heard of a shooting cane, nor a shaving cane, nor a candle cane - nor even a lip cane. ;)

7. was it the same designer architect nash correct, John Nash. 1pt

8. Thuma, they are fingers and thumb Correct, they're the old names. 2pts as you answered both parts.

9. they are all corals Correct, 1pt

13. one of his cases Just enough for the full point. Agatha Christie is the link, she wrote the play Black Coffee and Poirot was the detective who found out whodunnit.

A bit of an obvious connection, that one, Regg3y (whereas the theme of this quiz is unlikely connections).
However, I can't deny that Wrens do go to sea and I'm sure you have first-hand experience of that fact. ;)
So 0.5pt. The answer really is that they have both been de-monetised : The wren was on a farthing and the ship was on an old halfpenny.

3. Correct. Covered in 'em. 1pt
4. All names of Stewart tartans, actually. Correct, 1pt
5. the church theme was a correct one, but no, they're not candles.
11. I like this answer, although only the Edward VII part is correct, as D'Arcy Spice was around in 1785 and Belle de Boskoop dates from 1856. 'The Jersey Lily' lived from 1853-1929.
The common link is apples. Half-a-point awarded as it gives me the chance to say that Lily Langtree is supposed to be the inspiration for The Who's Pictures Of Lily. And for good measure, here's a picture of Jersey's Lilli, which runs around St Aubins Bay :


12. Saurus being the link, well done, 1pt

*Bringing a quiet end to this one now, the missing answers were:
2) - all figures of speech;
5) - all Hymn Tunes !
