On Sunday we did something different and went to the small town of Axbridge, to a pub called the Lamb. As I mentioned, we had very fine beer and wine, and there was a quiz in progress; we were too late to join in but we listened to the questions and answered them quietly between ourselves. It was a different quiz from the one we are used to – and two rounds seemed really fun. One was a round in which the last letter of the answer of one question was the first letter of the answer to the next! The other was a round where all the answers contained the word ‘hat’!
I set some tricky ‘hat’ questions, and here are the answers:
- Which city in southeastern Tennessee is famous for a song about its railways? Chattanooga
