A traditional British pub quiz full of general knowledge questions that are numbered for quick reference and are aimed at people who know about the UK or wish to learn more.
Each quiz contains twenty questions and answers, making a lot of fun trivia nights down at the local pub, or for staging family quiz shows at home.
There are hundreds of questions for all ages, and from all backgrounds, with a mix of strange ones to intriguing ones, that everyone should know, like how many cards are in a set of Tarot cards to knowing what OXFAM stands for.
