It won't let me put in either Lloyd George or Atlee for some reason.

Seventy-one. I missed a few of the eighteenth-century ones.

You're misspelling Attlee and the quiz misspells Lloyd George 'Lloyds George'.

34/76. Got every PM on the third column (my favorite being the hilariously-named Bonar Law) as well as Walpole, the Pitts, Disraeli, and Gladstone.

Giving up now, 26/76. I had to cheat to find out how to spell "Attlee", since I thought it only had one "t".

Yeah, I was pathetic. I completely blitzed the Australian one, though (not quite as well as I once would have - I used to name them in order, I had to stop and think and come back on a couple of them this time).

I got all of them up to Disraeli (working backwards from 2010), then Palmerston, Wellington, Earl Grey, Perceval and Pitt. Missed a couple of obvious ones I should have known like Walpole and Peel. 46/76

20. I really have an issue with Conservative Prime Ministers (I missed Heath and Macmillan, of all people).

Major!  hahaha.  I typed marshall, matlock, marvin the martian, maddingly, and a whole bunch of other stuff.  I was all like, "man, I should be able to come up with the guy, John Ma-something, between Thatcher and Blair..."  But I just couldn't do it.  About 30 seconds in I gave up.

I got David Lloyd George, Neville Chamberlain, Winston Churchill, Margaret Thatcher, Gordon Browne (but I kept spelling it wrong), Tony Blair, and David Cameron.

Well, I guess that's seven then.  I should have had eight, but Major's name kept escaping me. Dammit.

36... I suck. Sad

I got all those post-1908 except Baldwin (which I should have remembered). Before then I only got Walpole, the Pitts, Perceval (aka "that dude who was assassinated"), Liverpool, Palmerston, Disraeli and Gladstone.

The last five Prime Ministers are (in reverse order): Gordon Brown (2007- ), Tony Blair (9/11/2001 - 2007), Margaret Thatcher (the seventies - 2001), Paul McCartney (?), Winston Churchill (WW2).

28/76. I got them all from Chamberlain through Cameron except Douglas-Home.

(I do wonder how many here were able to name the Prime Minister during the American Revolution.)
