my usual score is none, so don't take any notice of these stabs: 3 adamites 4 elephant 9 new records for some sport, possibly the high jump. 11 official indications of inflation, etc. not sure about cpih, but consumer price index (guess) and retail price index. 12 shoe parts 14 names of battles
Think 9 is the year that cities changed their names. 6 will be the CIA headquarters, can’t remember it’s name cos haven’t watched a Jason Bourne film for a while.
I got 3 due to to my working knowledge of early Billy Bragg songs, rather than my working knowledge of agrarian socialism. 13 is about conspiracy theories that they didn't really die.
1 CD 2 French impressionists paintings 3 Gun powder plot 4 Elephant 5 Mars 6 Pentagon in Arlington Virginia. 7 Head of the Humper Lumpers 8 Haley Croppers comet 9 Earthquakes 10 Models of cars in South America 11 Indexes 12 type of fastenings 13 Still believed to be alive/Faked death. 14 Battles 15 imaginary Toughies...all guesses.
For the avoidance of doubt I've liked your post mainly because of your signature*. Oddly I've liked many posts by others when agreeing with part, but not necessarily all, of their posts. Not exactly a novel idea, but incomprehensible to 'some'. * Ditto The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
