Train is right atg. The answer was following satnav route

1.If you were suffering from hypothermia, what would your body temperature do - fall or rise?
Fall at the core


2.According to the traditional rhyme, which month has 28 days clear and 29 in each leap year?
February, which it does regardless.

3.How many 5p pieces are required to make £2?
40

4.A Pole is a native of which Eastern European country?
Poland

5.In computing, which internet search engine's motto used to be "Don't be evil"?
Norra clue
.
6.Signed on 25 March 1957, which treaty was the first and founding act of the European Economic Community?
Trick question. As I understand it the E.E.C. was only formed in, I think, 1971. Previously it was the Common Market. I stand to be corrected on that though.

7.Which Hungarian-born composer was the father-in-law of Richard Wagner?
Gustav Holszt?

8.What was the name of the missile that formed the basis of the submarine-based nuclear deterrent employed by the U.S and British navies during the 1960s-1990s?
Trident?


EDIT: Having just Gooooooooogled it seems my response to #6 was well wide of the mark. C'est la vie.

As is often the case I should've known that. For some reason. though, I just could not think of it. I knew it wasn't really trident but I could think of nowt else.

Anyway, time - shortly - for a quiz on a local forum.
