[Buenchico]

Aaagh!

I was trying to keep the answers off this page!

4 out of 10 ain't too bad, Nox!

[kawakiri]

Six for me, must try harder.

Oops sorry, glad I'm not the only one!

[NOX]

Sorry Chris, I'm a cretin:(

[Buenchico]

Did you sell the house as having 'scenic views', Daisy?
;-)

[MarkRae]

Pretty standard quiz fare.

[Prudie]

I knew 5. Only a C :-(

[The-Toff-]

Four only for me Chris, think i will give Mastermind a miss.

[Buenchico]

They are indeed, Mark.

I've set plenty of pub & club quizzes and I always try to set the questions to match the audience. If there will be lots of people who are regular and experienced 'quizzers', I try to make them hard. If it's just for the members of the local bowls club, I stick to the sort of questions above.

[Buenchico]

5 is a perfectly good 'middling' score, Prudie!

4's OK too, T-T!

Thanks for having a go.

[Groupie]

Standard or not, some are clearly flagging and may have to do pennants.

It must be being so cheerful that keeps some people going.

Thanks, Chris, but I have spent the last 30 mins or so trying to recall Freddie Mills' name, so I shall pass on your kind offer tonight ;)
