Weekly Bonus Question

11:28 UK time, Friday, 26 June 2009

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. And since nobody likes a smart alec, kudos will be deducted for predictability in your suggestions.

This week's answer is POPPY PADDOCKS.

UPDATE, 1750 BST: The correct answer is this is where wallabies have been making crop circles, after eating opium poppies and then hopping around "as high as a kite".
