I'll have a guess at these, still working on the ones marked "?".
1)The seven deadly sins
2)Birth Rates?
3)Equal Rights
4)For ever and ever
5)Get under way
6)?
7)?
8)Go for it
9)?
10) Ice cube (thanks to Quiggs!)
11)bird in the hand etc (thanks to SDQ!)
12) 2 buses arrive at once (thanks to Hollins!)
13)?
14)?
15)Over worked, under paid.

Well done Gwynant, you're in the lead so far.  I can see you now, walking down the Bay Promenade to Bryn's Bistro.    D)

Q1   is incorrect as there are more that 7 deadly sins listed. 
Q2   Now what have you got above the Birth?       Good answer in the first place but don't shoot the messenger when you get the answers
Q12   Double Decker bus

It's a shame that you missed out on the chance of a fine dining experience.  Not to worry though but this is what you may have had if you had won the coveted prize.

I've added one of my own at No 13 and it's on the menu for all diners wanting to go to Bryn's Bistro in 2014

anagrams aren't my strong point, but I have managed a few.

2) stuffing
4) turkey
6) mince pies
8) sherry
10) egg nog
11) goose

Could no13 be headaches?

I should have paid more attention in school but just managed to pass the test.

I only got 7 right and I thought to myself it was a pity that I had forgotten so much of what I learnt at school.
It's the same with spelling. I think we were taught well at school but over the years I have forgotten how to spell many words and am often asking Mr Hollins to help me out!
Mind you, now we have the spell checkers and the one on here is nice and easy to use.

That was one of the better Grammar-type quizzes but even so it would be possible to contest some answers.

“A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air.

"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife annual and tosses it over his shoulder.

"I'm a panda," he says, at the door. "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.

Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves.”
