Well, we had a certain amount of success in the pub quiz at the London Bridge pub in Stockton Heath tonight, coming 2nd (with a score of 48/55, the winners got 51/55) and winning the grand sum of £13. We did particularly well in the general knowledge bit (only getting 2 wrong), but there was one heart-stopping moment: we were rattling off the answers to
- Who played Stan Butler in On the Buses?
- How many goals did Gary Linekar score in the 1986 World Cup?
- What star sign would you be if you were born on St David's day?
without even pausing for breath, but then we got
- In which county would you find Cressbrook Crags?
And we were stumped - the only time a 12-strong team of walkers do a quiz, get a question on walking, and not immediately know the answer!!! The shame of it! Anyway, with a bit of elimination and logical guesswork, we went for Derbyshire - which (thankfully) was correct, and so embarrassment was spared. Thanks Jay for organising it!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to think I would have known the Cressbrook Crags question as we did pass the nearby Cressbrook Hall on a reccie for a walk once and considered it as a wedding venue! But I did have to use Google to jog my memory...
