Okay then, let’s see how many of last week’s quiz questions you could answer.

1. Where can you find the inscription “Ita splendeat lux vestra coram hominibus, ut videant vestra bona opera glorificentque Patrem illum vestrum qui est in coelis”?

You can find this inscription on the Peat Memorial in Portland Square.

One translation reads: “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in Heaven.”

An appropriate memorial to the good doctor!

2. Jameaters! What are they and where do they come from?

It’s a supposedly good- humoured term of abuse.

If you’re from Workington the jameaters come from Whitehaven and vice versa.

3. Who was Workington constituency’s first MP?

Tom Cape, elected in 1918.

4. If you stepped on a line on the pavement, what – if you were superstitious – do you think could happen to your mother – or to you?

The answer is in one of these two rhymes. “Step on a crack, break your mother’s back” or “step on a line and break your spine.”

5. What is 11 times 43? 473.

6. What was The Slosh? It was performed by a motley number of people who hit the dance floor for a couple of numbers and went through some sort of routine.

7. In 1972 Glen Leyshon was enthusing about “The Crystal Palace of the North.” What was he talking about?

The new Workington Leisure Centre.

8. This organisation went off to Rome and Naples in 1898. What was it called?

This was the Allerdale Touring Club.

Those fortunate enough to visit Rome and Naples back in 1898 were Miss Iredale (Guard Street) and Messrs CR Taylor, J Burchell, WL Fletcher and AT Martin.

9. What would you do with an old sweaty sock?

Do you ever get a really annoying sore throat? Then take one of your old woolly socks and go to bed with it wrapped round your neck.

10. Workington played Hartlepool in April 1910 – in a game that’s probably best forgotten. Why?

Workington Reds were beaten 12-0 by Hartlepool.

11. Wigton Young Farmers’ Club achieved a first in 1967.

What was it? It was the first club to appear in a new BBC farming series which featured YFCs.

It was run by Ken Ford. Anyone remember?

12. Who was Stumpy Willie?

He was a local character who used to wander the streets, clutching a long stick with a pin at one end, picking up fag ends in the 1950s.

13. Why were spectators not happy at a Broughton and Maryport county rugby union match in 1890?

Some 250 spectators queued at Broughton to see the match. Entry tickets cost 6d. When the crowd found out what these cost, they refused to buy any, as the usual cost of admittance was 3d.

They stood outside and protested and were eventually let in for the old price.

14. When, according to tradition, should you never lead off with your left foot?

You should go on board a ship – or a train carriage – right foot first.

It’s what sailors and old time engine drivers, according to tradition, used to do – and probably still do.

15. Why would you hang strands of seaweed up in your house?

It can help you do your own weather forecast – always assuming you know what to look for.

16. You see an empty plastic carrier bag being blown about in the wind. What does it mean?

It is going to rain. Perhaps you should have consulted your hanging seaweed before you left the house.

17. When was soap put on ration?

February 1942. Amazingly, soap rationing lasted until September 1950.

18. “When fate hands us a lemon, let’s try to make lemonade.” I’m quoting from a famous late Victorian millionaire. Who was he?

American steel tycoon Andrew Carnegie.

19. A Workington building was opened in 1904. It should have been popular but local socialists weren’t impressed. Why?

Workington Borough had accepted a grant of £7,500 from Andrew Carnegie. Local socialists and trade unionists looked on it as capitalist blood money and displayed their disapproval by spitting in the gutter in Finkle Street – on the opposite side to the library.

20. “Levavi oculos meos in montes” was the motto of the old borough of Workington. Translation please.“I will lift up mine eyes to the hills.
