9 for me this time, I was on a roll all the way through until I got to number 10 and found the only person I could think of was harry Kemp, never even heard of the business man who stated it.

7 for me too. I remeber vaguely Owen Fleming when he had the fruit shop in Windmill Street, now a car park, but I remember more his wife, I think her name was Hilda Fleming, possibily related to John Fleming of the fruit shop in Dockhead Street, now an estate Agent?

Same as me. It's insane that some knew Mrs Clintons maiden name.

I didn't get Robinson Crusoes author or where the Grand National is held, but I did get Hilary Clintons name right. Perhaps Italians are more into international politics than the British. Sanity doesn't come into it.
