Well done to joint top scorers Damon Wake and James Restall who both submitted scores of 16 in last week’s quiz. Alex Murphy (14) and Chris Lennon (13) also did reasonably well. Sophie Jamieson and Rozina Sabur scored a team effort of 15.5. I won’t embarrass the rest of you by publishing your scores! This week’s quiz inevitably has a political element to it … but there was a lot going on elsewhere too. As usual there are 20 questions, with five bonuses … so 25 points to be won. Let me know how you get on.
