Weekly Bonus Question
10:04 UK time, Friday, 28 May 2010
Welcome to the Weekly Bonus Question.
Each week the news quiz 7 days 7 questions will offer an answer. You are invited to suggest what the question might have been.
Suggestions should be sent using the COMMENTS BOX IN THIS ENTRY. Any answers submitted using the "Send us a letter" form on the right will be summarily ignored.
And since nobody likes a smart alec, kudos will be deducted for predictability in your suggestions.
This week's answer is A TEATOWEL SEWN ONTO A DRESS.
UPDATE 1900 BST: The correct answer is - how was Geri Halliwell's dress described, after winning the title the "most iconic dress of the last 50 years"?
