The weekend quiz

There are only six of them in the family and yet two of them make up everything. Hopefully that doesn’t leave you and up down simultaneously.To give you a flavour they are a gregarious lot who hate confinement, which they largely see as a colour issue.

Now the bulk of the quiz is to find the name of the dysfunctional family who were first spotted in California, although deciphering all the clues will give you additional points.

To find their family name you need to find your way to a certain Blogger’s home town. Here people have a way with English that eludes most English; we’ll ignore the Americans as they only speak pigeon English. The locals here savour words like ripe plums and always enjoy a rhyme (and rhymes are the key to this puzzle ). In this town they have a statue of Molly stood on her own. She has perhaps an overly ample cleavage and as a result the locals call her the ‘*r***** with the scallop‘, others call her the ‘**** with the fish’ and because she pushes a cart, others call her the ‘**r* with the cart.’ Hopefully by now you have found the town.

Now it’s not Molly we actually need, but that most famous of all writers who can be found nearby, known to the more vulgar as the ‘*r*** with the stick’ Now once you’ve found him you have your first clue as to the name of this mysterious family because our most famous of all writers invented their family name. Not found this writer? Well perhaps wake Finnegan up and ask him? His bark is worse than his bite -assuming you are still short of the mark.
