    A wild guess - all music related

    Gold - spandau ballet
    Led rather than lead - zeppelin
    Iron - maiden
    Mercury - freddie

    someone else can have a go, maybe im thinking out the box too much :)

    They're all elements whose chemical symbol is different from the initial letter of it's name.

    Gold - Au
    Lead - Pb
    Iron - Fe
    Mercury - Hg

    Very good indeed; the Only Connect question setters would be proud!

    Try this:

    Quest; Divination; Deafening; Zones

    ha ha, that's not the answer I got when I "cheated". I typed the four names into Google and got told that, according to Wikipedia, they are four of the six original characters in Metal Men (no idea what that comic is :/)

    The moral of the story is therefore cheating doesn't pay! :lol:

    It's a little bit too hard for me so here's a slightly easier one:

    HP Sauce
    Strongbow
    Twinings
    Dairy Milk

    tip: the answer isn't that they're all edible.

    first thing that springs to mind, British comapnies that are now owned by a foreign owner.

    You are close, it is nothing to do with foreign ownership though, more to do with the British companies...

    Well I know two of them (Cadbury and HP Sauce) for sure have the Royal Seal of Approval (may not be its legal name...)

    I can imagine Twinings does as it is an old company. Not too sure about Strongbow though, unless that one has it too? I wouldn't consider it in the same league as the other three products!

    But worth a shot
