Weekly Bonus Question
09:39 UK time, Friday, 8 May 2009
Welcome to the Weekly Bonus Question.
Each week the news quiz will offer an answer. You are invited to suggest what the question might have been.
Suggestions should be sent using the COMMENTS link above. And since nobody likes a smart alec, kudos will be deducted for predictability in your suggestions.
This week's answer is KING OLAV V OF NORWAY. The real question will be added below on Friday afternoon.
UPDATE: It's the monarch whose death in 1991 could lead to Cromer Town FC being evicted from their ground.
