Jersey Parishes Quiz

This will appeal to the crapauds - also to any well-travelled mainlanders to that beautiful, far-flung Isle. 8-)

Jersey is divided into twelve parishes.
Can you name each of them from their Coat of Arms ?

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
11.
12.

Yes, 1) and 2) do look similar, but there is a subtle difference if you look closely.

1 point for each correctly named. Good luck !

Cheers herr Quizmeister

I nominate an extension to this by being the first one to name a pub in each parish, bonus if it has a bar billiard table!!

Sav

Challenge accepted, Sav, but how are we going to score it ?

a) You only get the points for a full set of twelve, one per parish ?

Or b) one point for each pub nominated (bonus if there's a table), even if doubling up within a parish ?

[Chris_Sav]

One point for the first (ONLY) pub named within a parish

Bonus point for the first in each parish with a barbilliard table.

Thus a pub with a table would get you two.

If someone nominates a pub without a table as the first it gets a point, but there's still a bonus available if someone can think of a pub table in that parish.

There you are herr Quizmeister, points for you!!

and not so easy we'll extend it to Guernsey as well

This sounds like 'home table advantage' to any 'Jersies' that enter, and even more so for a Guernsey 'match set' :D

I can imagine some deliberately going on a pub crawl just to update their knowledge (much like Northants do all the time ;D)

Well, about time if we do get some Channel Islanders back on here, haven't heard from any of them for ages.

And I have to LMAO at Sav's skill in complicating matters. ;D
We now have our own version of "ALTERNATIVE RULES" for quizzes ! ;D

Les Green (Zorba The Greek) was the expert at complicating rules, I'm divivon 2 compared with his skills at making the easy impossible ;D

Right then, I'll go:

St Helier - The Africa house
Trinity - The Trinity Arms
St Martin - The Royal Hotel
St Peter - The Star (& Tipsy Toad)
Grouville - The Seymour Inn
St Brelade - The Landmark Inn

(all of the above have tables, and I would like to thank Mother Hen for earning me any points by organising pub crawls to visit each of them !) ;D

For the record, St Helier also has the Shipwright, the Devonshire and the Union Inn within its boundaries.

Here goes for the rest of the Jersey ones:

St Ouen - Farmers Inn
St Mary's - The Priory
St Saviour - Fiddler's Arms
St John - L'Auberge Du Nord
St Lawrence - Victoria in the Valley
St Clement - Le Hocq Inn

Never been to Guernsey so will have to resort to Googling ! :-[

Finally then, Guernsey:

Castel - The Rockmount
Forest - Deerhound Inn
St Andrew - Last Post
St Martin - Queens Hotel
St Peter Port - Dorset Arms
St Pierre du Bois - L'Eree Hotel
St Sampson - Mariners' Inn
St Saviour - St Saviour's Tavern
Torteval - Imperial Hotel
Vale - Hournet Tavern


I have no idea if any of the above have tables !

[Chris_Sav]

I'll email Nick Barnett to mark it!! ;D

[Chris_Sav]

Gospel according to St Nick on the Jersey leg is

All Tommo's first posting of pubs with tables are
correct and earns 12 points.

his second posting of pubs with no tables gets him 5 points, there is still one parish that no one has named a pub correctly.

And Nick should know when it comes to Jersey pubs ;D ;D he's been seen inCider most of them!!

Nice bit of Googling Tommo !
Only Houmet Tavern as a correction.

Just for fun who can name one of the above pubs who have a current Bar Billiards league team ?

Also two venues who used to have tables used in the league (in my time anyway) Can't recall any others from list.

Any finally at which pub did Trevor Gallienne make his first ever BB league appearance ?

[Chris_Sav]

Good joint effort quiz;

Tommo 17 pts + 9½pts
Sav 12 pts
Stormin ½pt for the correction

Remaining;

Tommo has got St Lawrence wrong, the Victoria in the Valley, is in St Peter's Valley. (as per NB who says name BOTH pubs in St Lawrence)

And from Stormin;

Any finally at which pub did Trevor Gallienne make his first ever BB league appearance ?

Can't answer Stormin's additional questions, and think that it will take an International player to do it.

I would however like to go for another point......... for a Guernsey pub with a table, as I recall (from a back issue of BBQ) that their champions (team called The Layabouts) play from the Plough Inn, St Peter Port - and the table has a red cloth. :o

Okay, I'll go for a) the British Union Hotel and b) the Brittannia at Bel Royal. And there's a chance that one of them might have a table. ;)

[Nick (Barnett) (R.I.P.)]

The British Union is one, the other is the Mont Felard.

Neither has a table.

The Britannia closed a few years ago.

This one needs a bit of tidying.
First of all, Nick scored me 1 right and 1 wrong on the St Lawrence question. So tommo 1pt and Nick 0.5pt for the correction.
Which makes:

Tommo 27½pts
Sav 12 pts
Stormin ½pt for the correction
Nick ½pt

Sav - correct me if i'm wrong (for another ½pt ;D)

Still to be answered, the Guernsey questions:

(from)
Castel - The Rockmount
Forest - Deerhound Inn
St Andrew - Last Post
St Martin - Queens Hotel
St Peter Port - Dorset Arms
St Pierre du Bois - L'Eree Hotel
St Sampson - Mariners' Inn
St Saviour - St Saviour's Tavern
Torteval - Imperial Hotel
Vale - Houmet Tavern

1. Name one of the above pubs who have a current Bar Billiards league team ?

2. Also two venues who used to have tables used in the league

3. At which pub did Trevor Gallienne make his first ever BB league appearance ?

Finally, Sav still to mark me on this shot in the dark :
"I would however like to go for another point......... for a Guernsey pub with a table, as I recall (from a back issue of BBQ) that their champions (team called The Layabouts) play from the Plough Inn, St Peter Port - and the table has a red cloth."

As Stormin' has provided the answers for those that remain, and 40pts have already been give out, I'll take the opportunity to close this one:

"The Baulkliners still play from the St Saviours Hotel - this one is easy as it can be accessed from looking at the Guernsey fixtures list.
Both the The Imperial Hotel and The Houmet used to have league teams and Bar Billiards tables
Trevor Gallienne first played for The Imperial, although a lot of the current Guernsey players might be too young to remember that !
Regards
Stormin."

It finished:

Tommo 27½pts
Sav 12 pts
Stormin ½pt for the correction
Nick ½pt for the correction

(Next Quiz to close will be History VII, at 6 o'clock tonight.)
