This may well be lead balloon time (again !) but I had this daft idea for a quiz (well, we haven't had one for a while).

When you use the search facility on here (yes there is one ;)) the results are shown, for example, as Page 1 to 156

If you entered the following into the search facility, in what order would they come - lowest to highest number of pages.

efes          
ex pat         
full English      
rip off         
scunner         
steak         
boat trip      
rumour         
exchange rate      
search

And thank you DianeT - two in the correct position and next to each other which is even better.

I should have said that the results surprised me :o

Just the one I'm afraid:(.

It is of couse totally unscientific. If you had included "breakfast" in the list rather than "full English" the position would hvae been totally different.

I think to get all in the right order may take us some time...

Given that, as scunner says, it is difficult if not impossible to get them all in the right order, the lowest and highest are

full English Page 1 to 6

scunner Page 1 to ???:D

Anyone having a go for here on doesn't get two points by the way.
