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.

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

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 ;)
