Test yourself with this week's newsquiz

Last week's newsquiz was clearly a toughie with not many double-figure scores submitted. In fact veteran quizzer Ian McCulloch sent a message saying 'my score was so dismal that I will not disclose it!' I suspect there are a few more who felt the same. So well done Janet Boyle who was top scorer with a very impressive 16.
This week's is a bit easier I reckon. Let me know how you get on.
