Do you give in? (I've just Googled it and it seems that the year he won the prize could have been 1986)

dandysmom · 07-10-2009, 09:44 PM

I give in!

yola · 07-10-2009, 09:44 PM

Give in. I was just guessing anyway

OK - it was Desmond Tutu - at the time Archbishop of South Africa.

I'll do the count up ..................

Are you sure?? I was convinced Tutu'd won it well into the 90s . . .

angieh · 07-10-2009, 09:47 PM

Here we go:

Yola: 13

Well done Yola! Are you OK to be quizmistress next week?

While you're totalling, I want to say thanks for a really good quiz... some good ones there. I'm not likely to forget Flinders and his cat, nor syllabub! As CM says, we always learn something here.

You know how dodgy these dates can be ....... I'm not sure!

Everyone thought that Pompeii was destroyed in August AD 79 - but it now seems through excavated evidence that it was later in the year!

However, in this case, it does seem that Desmond Tutu won the Prize in 1984
