578146 2007-08-09 01:30:00 My 'Quiz (note the 1 'z' here!) Compiler' says "No, not Abbey Road" - but even she can't remember what the answer should/was!

Soooo - I'm still open for suggestions! :)

578147 2007-08-09 01:36:00 I reckon it could be "Let's All Go Down The Strand", written by Clarence Murphy and Harry Castling in 1904, and also used by Noel Coward in "Cavalcade" in 1932.
The only problem is the 'Strand' lyrics have the words 'happy land', not 'happy band'.

578148 2007-08-09 02:03:00 No. 10 sounds vaguely like a lyric from that song "Winchester Cathedral". Winchester Cathedral is in Winchester though (Hampshire?), not London. vinref (6194)
578149 2007-08-09 04:48:00 I'm looking at No. 12 & it's niggling me.

Which quote from My Fair Lady makes London Bridge the "demolition" answer?
