I might be able to procure some question if that helps - or you may have it covered?

Rollo Home on May 30, 2013:

Attached is a quiz that someone here has just developed today - apparently these are all terms found on an OS map

Antony Scott on May 30, 2013:

Here are a bunch of questions culled from MapAction quizzes - I think I have taken out the MA-specific ones, apologies if I missed any...

Antony Scott on May 30, 2013:

Hmm... so what are the answers Rollo, or are you keeping these up your sleeve?

Rollo Home on May 30, 2013:

ah! That would be telling....don't you want to give it a go?

Could you have a quiz round of "Place Name - Real or Made-up?" and use some of the more acceptable ones from Gary Gale's  http://maps.geotastic.org/rude/

Antony Scott on May 31, 2013:

That is, as they say, mega lolz. But what could you make up which isn’t already there? And does it infringe our code of conduct?

Mark Iliffe on May 31, 2013:

I don't care, as long as "Dikshit" (http://maps.geotastic.org/vaguely-rude-places/index.php?id=60) makes the final cut. On a serious note, I think Anthony raises a valid point, consequently, are we better off avoiding this line. However, I'm all for pushing the boundaries.

Thanks for the contributions everyone- this is now done and available as a google doc- I can share it with you if you don't want to participate!

Antony Scott on September 4, 2013:

That must have been the most fun job in the entire process... ☺
