Who invented the pub quiz? The British, of course! Who doesn't
enjoy a rousing question-and-answer session over a pint and some
scratchings? Indeed, what higher calling is there than standing in
the pub loudly demanding answers to difficult questions like 'd'you
want some?' Here, for your pleasure, Britain's leading pub
landlord, The Pub Landlord, presents the finest collection of facts
imaginable. Enjoy the attention of friends and strangers by
revealing how many James Bonds there were, how many times the
French have capitulated and exactly how long those pickled eggs
have been in that jar on the bar. The ladies love a well-read man
and this book will give you the tools needed to impress her (don't
worry, answers are included). None of your French-type
philosophical musings here. No, this is a proper quiz for the Great
British Public. In a public house. Or your living room.
