Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The city of Boston in the USA is also a town in England. In which county is Boston, England?

Answer: Lincolnshire

I think they still have tea parties!
2. Which US state has the British flag as part of its state flag?

Answer: Hawaii

Hawaii used to be called the Sandwich Islands and were at one time claimed by Britain.
3. Which material was patented in New York and London at the same time?

Answer: Nylon

It has been retrospectively claimed that the word "nylon" is derived from NY (New York) + LON (London), but this is apocryphal. The "on" part is from the ending of cotton and rayon, with "nyl" being invented.
4. Which British Prime Minister had the same surname as a US President?

Both were in power in the 20th century.

The Sweeney was a cop show, named after the rhyming slang 'Sweeney Todd, Flying Squad'. In fact, John Thaw's character was Jack Regan (not Reagan); his partner was George Carter (played by Dennis Waterman).
